Okay, I just completed it today, and I wanted to run it through you guys to see if it's adequate. The cupboard is 2.5' wide, and 2.5' tall, and 1' deep. I have three plants in gallon pots: Trainwreck, Pineapple Express, and Bubblicious (all clones). I bough 4 clamp lights, and took off the reflector (for space) and ran the lights through a combo of eyed screw things and zip ties. The four lights are some CFLs I picked up at Lowe's. They are 23 watt (100 watt equivalent)/1600 Lumen bulbs. Is this light good enough? My fear is it's too much light for the space, but then again, I read that it's very hard to give them too much light. I put a thermometer in there, and have been monitoring it, to see what my options are with things like venitlation...and to make sure the lights didn't overheat the box. When closed completely for 2 hours, the temp only got up to 88 degrees. When I crack the doors open just slightly (a finger width), it seemed to be enough to regulate the temperature, with the temp in there holding steady at 78-80 degrees. I figure for air flow, I can put a clamp fan in there somewhere.
I included a pic below...does this look okay?
