go back to lowes and by 1 or 2 42 watt cfl bulbs ($11.50 each) with 6500k which most 42 watts are 6500k. And then set up a box tall ways and put the 42 watt in the middle with the 24 watts at north south east west (doesnt matter about north west etc...) and put foil everywhere i saw it on a youtube video

The 23w to 42w cfls are the best. These provide the most lumen per watt in most cfl bulbs. I prefer the 23w versions just because they do go out sometimes and I'd rather replace a 2 or 3 dollar bulb than a 10 - 15 dollar one.
