Just tripled the amount of cfl's! Overkill? Increased temp? What do you think guys?

Sounds great. Now how are your temps doing?

Thanks and the temps did take an increase! Before I added the extra bulbs temps were from the low 70's to high 80's and sometimes even low 90's during hot days! But now the temps seem to have raised to about high 70's to high 80's! I have a big 14" shop fan that circulates air well, but I dont have air coming in from outside! I need to cut a hole and add a fan or even just a filter and let the air flow in through gravity.

two 125W would fix all this. i am not sure more bulbs mean better.

I did want to add bigger wattage cfls, but I would have to buy new fixtures and bulbs, and I feel that with smaller bulbs but more of them, I will be able to distribute the light more evenly, of course once I get a good reflector on it! But I still am considering taking off a few spitters and just adding two or three single bigger watt cfls! Thank you for the reply
