No CFLs have been obsolete for years, don't waste your money. Any LED would be better, even hardware store junk. A Bridgelux or Samsung strip is like 2.5-3X as efficient and lasts for 50,000 hours.

If you can spend about $115, you could get this with the "RIU10" promo code. This is a decent light.

I figure that for 8000 lumens/sq ft you’d need sixteen, drawing over 400 watts. Unless you have’m in inventory, there are cheaper good ways to light that space.
