    thst should work good:). make sure that your using a high wattage CF because your reflector takes up alot of room. personally, I would rather us a bunch of coke can reflectors and have more lights. I'm designing a custom roof flashing material reflector that should be done on tuesday. You should check it out and see if you want to use that instead;).

    good luck and happy growing!:)

    Well pal that is exactly what I am using. Two of those with cfls. They are good for a while but when the plants get bigger they dont offer the light requirements that pot needs.they work great at first though

    i just used a normal house lite shade, ripped all that flowery cloth crap off it and gaffa taped some black n white plastic in place of the cloth and bingo! it looked after my seedlings till i cud get another tube 4 my fluro. infact it worked so well i tend to use it insted of the larger lite when i only have a few plants. cost me about 6pence to make.
