Yeah just get the most powerful standard socket compact fluorescent that you can find, they usually max out at about 42 actual watts.

if you replace every single light in your house with 23watt CFL's you can usually save between 200-500watts that can go right to the grow unnoticed

well you cant do that you will need a good size cabinet or closet the CFL's need to be 1-2" from the plant anything further away and the plant will stretch and eventually die off

It will be too far, and they make 80 plus CFL's.
