CFL Lighting in a closet.

[k1ucHt]

Yea I was afraid it was too weak, thanks for the advice everyone. So pretty much your saying I should get 3 - 4 42w CFL bulbs at 1960 lumens each. Meaning 7840 lumens of light total. Is it alright if the bulbs are soft white or must they be warm?

How tall is your closet? You could go with 4 standard 48" double bulb fluorescent lights ( 8 bulbs total) and hang them vertically. Hang one in each corner of the closet. Each standard cool white bulb puts out about 3200 lumens for a total of about 25,000 lumens. Does that put a little light on the subject for you? I just bought a few sets at Lowe's for $7.97 each and the bulbs are about $3.00 each. you'll end up spending about $60 US and get three times the light...
