i would cover as much area as you can..... but it depends on what your box looks like.

no its cool. depending on how many lights you got, i would just hang them alongside the plant/plants.

well heres the thing i got these crazy 300w GE Power Saver CFLs that are almost a foot long and 4 mini 26 watters, i was gonna hang the 300's above, and if need be put the 26'ers on along the sides as needed. (WHICH WE MAY) One of our "bagseeds" (started with 9 bagseeds, all germed amazingly. is AK-47!) so i might have to adjust for my Sativas or do some crazy trimming!!! :hump:

I would go with the side, more light plus more coverage, just figure out some sort of reflector. Being a foot long it's a bit big for the soda can reflector, unless you tape a couple together or use some energy drink cans.

You could also cut open a 2 liter and line it with mylar or just build something to line with mylar as a reflector.

yeah, I'd put them on the sides. I'd have the lights hanging all around the plant. if you have multiple plants, then hanging all throughout the plants, that way you don't need a reflector cause plants are all around the bulbs.
