Lighting

Ok so I bought some new lights I plan to rig up somehow. I got a 50 w LED 6500k, and a two pack of 105w cfl 6500k. Due to the size of the 105, it might be going back. I know 105 may seem like overkill but from what I've read, lumens can def improve the quality/yield of fruits. I surely can't house it in a mason jar (I've already tried qt and gallon jars, the mouth is not wide enough). The tub I planned to put it in, is, I'm assuming too small (66qt). This bulb would be touching the substrate practically if housed vertically. I've read some teks like Marthas and Wilsorvens but it seems like I need more info due to size and housing complications. If I bought a larger tub, could I cut out a hole the diameter of the ballast, and stick it there or would the heat be an issue with melting the plastic? And if somehow I can find a way to rig this, which hanging method will be most effective, vertically or horizontally? Any info is appreciated.

All the results of talented growers that I have seen on this forum so far had their lamps on the outside of the tub (as far as I am aware of). I am sure there are ppl that tried to put their lamps inside a tub, but yeah... it really introduces a lot of disadvantages I reckon. You don't want the temperature raised (locally) in a tub, which is what you get.... I would definitely put my energy in something else... Unless you like the experiment of course :smile:. Keep us in the loop anyways!
