If not then I'll just use Mylar and cardboard I guess to build a ghetto reflector.

Do you think this was money wasted, going from T-12 to the CFLs? Watt usage is the same, just more lumens concentrated over a smaller space.

Total Cost was about $70.
grr.. think I screwed up again. After more searching I probably should've bought the Daylight bulbs instead of these bright whites. They're not in the optimal color tempature range.

I figured they would be the same as the cool whites, but they're actually only 3500 on the color scale.

Daylights are closer with 5500. Going to see if I can exchange these even though I've opened them
