Has anyone ever tried using like 10-12 of those long narrow style of CFL's, i know they make a 5,000-5,500k and a 2,700k for sure. But what about taking those and sticking the ends that they plug into in a power stripe line type of deal, and then perhaps using some ceramic type caulk/cement. My 65 actually wattage CFL uses this stuff on the ends of the long loops to connect them together. As to not bump each other slightly. Then making a brace, and standing four of them up around a plant. While using like a 65-100watt cfl on the top. just a random thought.
im sure it would work, but i feel like they could be put to a more efficient use. It would look super badass thogh.
