This is the light fixture I cobbled out of one of the closet shelves, some salvaged light fixtures, and some mylar. That shelf is how big my grow closet is. 4.5 ft². No outside ventilation other than opening the door to look in.

7 x 27W CFT (6@6500K, 1@2700K) ea 1600L+

Total 11200L+ or ~2500L / ft²

That is what 11200L looks like through a cheezy webcam. Note how quickly the light "fades" on the carpet. (the inverse square law) This shows why CFTs are great for small, enclosed spaces, but NOT for full fledged grow rooms. Also note the color difference between the 2700K (center) & 6500K bulbs
