Cfl wiring/setup idea/questions

so i have rewired and remodeled my closet 3 times and i cant get my damn cfl lighting fixture to fit [its like the one in the book]

so im thinking of making a top vertically moving fixture on simple wires and then mounting the other lighting fixtures straight onto the wall of my closet so that they will stay when the plant has grown and then just add more above it to turn on when the plant has grown to the appropriate height.

i wish i could get pics but my usb port is now busted and i cant upload anything til i get that fixed, but i might be able to get a simple paint setup drawn..

in the meantime any ideas?

this pic will help hopefully..
anyone with cfl knowledge, will this work?
or are the bulbs too far away to give the plant decent light?
i dont have a plant this size btw, just an example, my seeds arent even in yet, so everything has a lil while to develop still

well my problem is can i keep the lights all the way on the side of the closet? with an adjustable cfl setup on top will those suffice until the plant is large enough to actually gain lumens from the side lights?

i guess as long as u use some mylar or white paint u will get some benefit from side lites. how tall u plannin on growin, how many side lites r u using? if anything u can double up the side lites and allow them to be adjusted during your grow
