I needed more light and didn't want to spend a lot of money so I bought:
1: 1 in x 2 in x 8 ft board ($2)
10: light socket adapters ($10)
2: pack of 2 6-plug surge protectors ($14)
I already had:
1: 6-plug surge protector
screws
bulbs
zip ties
galvanized half pipe for reflector
And this is what I put together:
There are two smaller bulbs missing from the lower right side, but you get the idea. It measures 28 in x 18 and it fits in my cabinet with just a little wiggle room.
The bulbs I have in it (or plan to go in it) are:
2-65W (3800 lumens each)
4-42W (2600 lumens each)
4-23W (1600 lumens each)
I also added a reflector (just a galvanized duct) to the top of it. I made a hole in it and attached an exhaust duct. It is still pretty hot with all the bulbs and two fans blowing on it but damn is it bright!!!
Just thought I would share.
