My light board. opinions?

Im growin inside a plastic storage box with another box ontop. In the top box, i've basically got a board with many lights attached hanging that can be adjusted vertically as the plants grow. Currently, i've got 4- 13 W daylight cfls, (2 in 2 corners), and 2- 40W cfls in the other corners (1 cool white, 1 warm white). In the middle ive got an 18" cool white florescent tube. When i look at the board, it is clear though that the tube light does not give off as much light, and what im thinking is that i can add 3 or 4 more 40W cfls if i remove the tube light.

Since im growing in a relatively small space do u think adding these lights would be really beneficial??

any opinions on the light board currently would be appreciated, as well as if i make that adjustment. thanks

With CFL more is better. Tubes (traditional FL) are only usefull if you are trying to cover serious square feet. Run as many CFL watts as your circuit can handle.

Remember there is a limit on how many you can run on one outlet or power strip. Add the amperage of each bulb. Most house circuits are 15 amps.
