Hey Everyone. Kinda winged this together last night. Really dont have much time right now so I'll post the pics and explain if anyone has questions later. It is very straight forward.

Its made out of 2 aluminum full pans, 3 outdoor double sockets and 6 65 watt 6400K CFL bulbs. a sheet of ply and a couple screws and a pair of metal shears. Ends up at 19,500 Lumens.

Comments welcome. :joint:

Cheers

Great job man hope it turns out good. I think CFLS are great for small grows, save a fortune on electricty and u can get seriously nice buds too if done right. Best of luck

Thanks everyone. I could have gotten a better reflector but the space is so small it doesnt need one, Just needed something to spread the light a bit further. Got the fixtures at the hardware store, you should be able to find them or similar. this took me all on 1 hour to make.. ok ok it might look a bit rough but it works well enough. This is just the veg room, they will be moved to flower when they get to size after taking a few clones.

Cheers

Although I agree with covering the wires I believe it wouldnt matter too much. I like the design and went with something pretty similar. I give rep for this. Nice CFL setup.
