I feel like my lamps are not dispersing the light equally, an they are not all leveled.

I have 3 cfl bulbs over 4 plants, all 3 bulbs are in different lamps, an they hang at different levels unevenly, what is a good lamp I can screw these bulbs into to get even results an evenly dispersed lighting?
I will have a pic soon.

What I have is 3 small Spiral Energy efficient bulbs in automotive lamps.
They are rated at soft white 6500k
For flowering I have a soft white 2700k lights.

But I was a cheap setup for a long bulb in a lamp if that makes any sense.
I want the long type of bulbs maybe 2 of those in a lamp an hang it, but I have no idea where to buy them at, or what the type of bulbs I will need.

So I do 3 bulbs at 6500k for veg
Then I have 3 more that are 2700k for after veg.

I want a lamp that can hold 2 long cylinder like bulbs ( if I need 2)
That are equivalent for the vegetative state.

An I want 2 more bulbs that are good for after the vegetative state.

Like a hanging lamp with 2 sockets for long cfl tube like bulbs.

I apologize for being such a noob. Lol

I have also seen some videos on youtube on DIY 3-4 CFL light fixtures with homemade reflectors. Total cost should be under $25 without the bulbs and be relatively easy to do for anyone.

I would say to definitely read StinkyAttic's n00b guides to learn everything you need to know, including important spectrum info!

Good luck!

I found 2 6500k T8 long fluorescent bulbs, will 2 be okay for 4 plants?
