I have a 2 growth Magic Lantern that is in bud now on both it's growths, whoo hoo! Anyways, I have it in my room where I have a light shelf. The shelf consists of 4 x 4' fluoros and 2 x 75 watt compact fluorescents. The CF's are toward the front of the table and I had the plant toward the back, but now I moved it to the front directly in between the two CF's because the spike were starting to tilt towards the brighter light. It is receiving about 2000 footcandles right now compared to maybe 1500 before, MAYBE (more like 1200). Do you think that the light is too bright to have it right under the CF's or should it be ok?
By the way, if no one has tried growing with CF lights, they don't know what they are missing. A light footcandle measurer thing I have reads about 2000 footcandles when it is 1 inch under my 4 x 4' fluoros but 1 inch under the 75 watt CF (or even a 25w) the meter reads...well it tilts far past 5000 footcandles (the highest measurement) Believe me, CF's are the way to go!
