cfls put off more light when bulb is horizontal
and u can make a better reflector
but those 4 bulbs and the 4 clamp lights u can buy locally for cheaper

I used 2, cheap 4 socket vanity fixtures, a 2ft length of 8inch dryer vent (for the reflector), 6 Daylight 7500k, and 2 soft 2700k CFL's, which gives me 200w & apx 11,500 lumens.

That's 10X the lumens than what they're selling.
