CFL design

I am just finishing my second grow using cfls. Vegging under cools is fantastic. I don't think there is anything better. But my flowering warms aren't so great. They work. But could be better. I think part of their problem is their long thin vertical design. Both last grow and this one too, a couple branches bud out nicely way away from the lights. I'm not sure where the best light is coming from them, but I put the buds usually directly under the bulbs. I read about getting those spotlight cfls and taking the lens off, left with horizontally curled bulbs. Although that design seems better, the wattage on those bulbs is usually pretty weak. Like 15W. I might try it though.
