With only 2' vertical space, I would probably mount the sockets on opposite sides of the grow space rather than the top, one toward the front and one toward the rear of the cabinet, with the bulbs horizontal - that will maximize your available height.
Thanks for the idea, that is definitely something i will do

Now that i think about it that way, mounting lights on the sides, i can fit quite a few more CFL's in there.

3-4 26w CFL's will be good for one smaller plant?
