I just wanted to show you guys my lighting rig I built with 8 CFLs that's putting out a total of 790 watts (equivilent) Let me tell you I only finished building this rig this morning, and it gets VERY hot! And my grow box temp remains around 25*C (77*F) when the lamps are switched on.
It's running 4x 75W warm-whites in each corner, 2x 120W warm-whites in the centre (left & right) and 2x 125W cool-whites in the centre (front & back).
















This grow box has been very very cheap to build. And highly effective so far :-) Every 2 weeks I'm able to spend around $30 and buy something new & exciting to add to the box. Next fortnight I'm going to invest in something which'll tell me what the humidity levels are, I don't know what they're called :-P Also possibly a fire-extinguisher, you can never be too careful!

Peace Everyone
What is the actual wattage of your lights? Not the equivelient.
