use reflex insulation that will keep it about 10 degrees warmer.from my testing the lights will keep it warm while they are on and when they are off it doesn't stunt plant growth when its in the upper 60s in my experience as a first time grower.insulation is unnecessary!
i would get a shop light like this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bayco-8.5-Clamp-Light/14003467 and add a y socket. this would allow you to move light up and down easier and no chance of heavy cfl pulling light out off socket or fire hazard. just my 2 cents

it looks to me as if the leafs are dehydrated. whenever my plants do that i mist them with some water which should revive the leaves. to keep from over watering i would soak the plants until water starts coming out of bottom of solo cups 1 time every three days. i highly doubt it is a light problem.
