The dimensions of your box are pretty much the same as what I have. I am using five 26-watt (100-watt equivalent) cool natural light CFL's, they come in packs of two for six something at walmart..I have 9 plants total and the lights and pots are setup so that the light hits every one perfectly, I've had no problems thus far.

I've got 12 26w in a 2.5X1.5 space. Put as many and as high a wattage as you can get in there and still regulate the heat IMO.
