I'm building a small grow. only 26 inches high. should my CFL lights go vertical or horizantal? I can do either but horizantal would give me a litte more head room.

Thanks for your advice.

The most light from a CFL comes from the sides not the tips so horizontal is optimal. I use socket spliters so they are at a 45 degree angle.
