Well, shit!

Veg lights (fluoro's) took a dump last night, again. <sigh> Were getting old anyway. This keeps up, and I'll be vegging with my Bic lighter, lol.

Went to WalMart, and ended-up with these:
There's 4 - 2 bulb security light bases (adjustable bulb angles)
8 - 26w CFL's (6500k, 1600 lumens)

Drilled holes, attached bases to the board, wired them in series. Using a hard yet flexible plastic sheeting for reflector, that I had in the garage.

Had to use the Dremmel to remove about 1" in length from the plastic bulb sockets, as the bulb base was about 1/32" too large in diameter. Easy remedy, works great.
Am going back to WalMart to get two more of the bases and 4 more bulbs. Should I stick with the 6500k's or should I get some of the other 2400k (I think) bulbs to suppliment?
Thanks...Rusty
