that's hot; yes, the cfl's will be cooler

my advice? if you want a lot of cool power, go with T5HO instead; htgsupply.com will get you good stuff; e-conolight has a 6-tube fixture for a bit over a hundred bucks; bulbs from 1000bulbs are less than five bucks

i wouldn't bother buying so many cfl's; i doubt you'll save money, and they'll be innefficient; T5HO will get you 92 lumen per watt
