Default Home made cfl fixture
okay so i finnally got down to home depot and spent some time and left with some parts cost $40.81 , 2 68w-4200 lumen-2700k cfls at $14.97 each, 1 living room fixture (only for the dual light fixture part) $4.87, 2'Lx 4"id ac ducting(it comes un rolled jus bend it out a lil bit) $2.81, and $3.11 TAX every thing besides the cord and i had that but it should only be a few bucks
i kno i shouldnt of spent 40 bucks on this but hell it was fun to make and works too

EDIT: get a nut that fits the light fixture the plastic one is a piece of shit lol

the pic is finished product i hung it up as my top light and moved the other 6 26w-1750lumen cfls aroun the sides of the plants

so total i add up thats 292w-18,900 lumens for a 6sqft area (3150 lumens per sq ft)

so a 136w-8400 lumen cfl light
hell this lil can be adapted to any size bulbs so go wild

oh and i saw someone with one like this and adapted it to my needs thats where the idea came from

Those lights are kinda disappointing. You'd think they'd be brighter... just bigger. But nice thingy there.
