    CFLs: Vertical or Horizontally Mounted?

    For my 20x30x40-inch high grow area, I had planned to mount six CFLs horizontally a couple of inches apart on a homemade rack. Above the CFLs, would be a sheet of shiny metal. The idea was to raise the rack with yoyos as the plant(s) grow. But I don’t see anyone else doing it like this...

    Many Small vs. a few Large CFLs?
