Hello,
So I'm starting a growbox, and I plan on using about 250w of 6500k CFLs for veg. All the CFL light fixtures I see are a flat panel of bulbs. I'd like to have some sort of swivel arm or SOME kind of way to control the CFLs in groups of 2.
What I thought of doing was getting 3 short extension cords, 3 socket adapters and 3 socket Y adapters, so each extension cord would have 2 CFLs at the tip. I was thinking of maybe setting up 3 thin PVC pipes in the box to clamp these lights to, but I would rather have something a bit less ghetto.
Am I worrying too much about this? Should I just put them in a 2x6 grid like most people? I just really want to be able to place the CFLs around the plant instead of all 6 above it.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
