can't see the base and everything, but you can see how the lights looked
this way you get the most light out of the bulbs onto the plants as possible, since they're more perpendicular to the tops of the plants (as opposed to the one with the power strip, where the light mostly goes to the sides) |
^ That's the coolest thing I've seen all day. I love that idea with the cans :)
Yes you should get more light off the CFL from its side rather than its top.
