Here's my shot at a diy cfl fixture/reflector.
2800 x 4 = 11,200 5500k
1600 x 4 = 6,400 2700k
Total lumens = 17,600
It's a VERY snug fit. Got kinda scared when I went to screw in bulbs. I basically used all the same stuff as op except the obvious different arrangement of bulbs. I still have room to install the extra side sockets, but I don't think I'll bother. I just need to add more bulbs beneath the canopy, though canopy penetration is MUCH better I want to eliminate shadows. Thanks for the awesome design! I'm no longer blinded when checking on my plants, no more seeing purple spots after watering.
Also, this size is very ideal for a grow tent.
