I'm starting to run the electrical for my shop and I'm installing 12 300 watt CFL bulbs. Does anyone know of some good fixtures that go above the bulb to help reflect light? I'm also looking for a recomend on yard lights that have a photo cell and come on automaticaly. Thanks in advance

I've never seen a 300 watt CFL, and with the amount of light you get from CFLs, I don't think you would need anything that puts out that much light.
I put 26 watt CFLs on the outer walls on each side of my garage. They do a great job of lighting my yard. I feel that they put out as much usable light as the high pressure sodium lights the city uses to light our streets, and at a far lower cost. I have no idea what size the City's HP sodiums are, but you can bet that they consume a lot more power than my florescent lights eat.
I bought my fixtures at my local Menards, and the fixture has a built in photocell in the light so they take care of themselves day and night.
