I made a new grow cab today it is 1 foot wide 1 foot deep and 4 foot tall I have 9 cfls and outlets but can't figure out a decent way to get top and side lighting all with one rig, any suggestions?

this is what i made. 18x18 lighting my 2x2 cab.
then have 4 drop lights for each corner. in my 2x2 cab i can run 22-25 23w cfl.
i usually run about 20 bulbs(460 watts). average bout 5 ounces a run in a 2x2 cab or 0.3grams/watt.

I use 7 outlet power strips screwed to top and sides of 2x1x30 cabinet and use the plug in sockets. Then depending on where lighting is needed I use them straight or with Y adapters to get fill in. Works well and has lots of adjustability. Good luck and enjoy.
