Reflector hood?

I'm using a 27 watt CFL; is a reflector hood needed?

No... Another 27 watt bulb would be cheaper and more effective.

Not at all. You don't need focused light and it will generate unnecessary dry heat.

It's hard to pinpoint where overkill happens... they can fruit fine off a shitty little 13w bulb, I use those for single tubs all the time. I really don't ever have to use 2 lights for one tub, but in cases where I have, for the fuck of it, there were no negative results, though it's hard to measure positive results so I haven't assumed anything personally.
I'm sure it wouldn't be overkill until it's actually harming them, but it's definitely not necessary.

That's a little short sighted seeing as lumens are in fact kind of important but... you know... whatever. Sounds good when you say it I guess. If it were true though I'd just plug the light in the ceiling fixture and call it a day for all my grows.

I have a 2' 23W T5HO about 1' above my 66qt and they seem to do fine with a 12/12 cycle. The fixture came with built in reflector. 6500K

I've gotten different rands of light bulbs and the only thing I ever checked was to make sure it was 6500k and my results say that was perfectly fine.
Indeed, it does sound good.

2 bulbs on 2 lamps is enough, yes. I find it shocking that this is so difficult to believe?
Edit: for 6 tubs

So now it's 2 bulbs? I thought 6500k was all that mattered? What's the difference between 1 and 2? And these are lamps, not on the ceiling. Why not just use the ceiling light for the whole room?

And here's one of the tubs. Done with MS culture. Working on clones that I started from this tub now.

The lumens do have some effect. As a secondary pinning trigger more light will help with the pinsets but excessive light can dry out your tub easier, or so RR said in the past anyway. When it comes to "how low can you go?", it's tough to say. Liloldme uses like 7w(IIRC) LED strip lights for his tubs, I have recently hooked up something similiar. Mine are 10w each though. As for results, I can't say as of yet but liloldme has been using these for a while now, he says they work just great.
