i was going to put a few cfl's around the sides also with a floresent or 2 and the cfls have a output of about 3000 lumens...i know thats not great but figured it would help for around the sides of the tent and i think the light i am geting is going to be 18 inch long and 15 in wide and air cooled with the duct and fans and everything
