Default My new CFL setup...suggestions welcome!

Hello All,
I just wanted to share that my new 200 watt CFL (5000K) was delivered today. I posted a picture of it here, and apologize for the quality of the photo. A friend is coming by with a light meter so I can determine how close to the bulb I need to set my catts. But, to put it non-scientifically, this thing is BRIGHT. What I hope to induce to bloom are:

Slc. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.'
Blc. Haw Yuan Beaty 'Hong'
and a NOID which I suspect to be another small Blc.

I know I'm supposed to gradually increase the light so as not to shock the little plants, and may also wrap a clear shower curtain around the shelving unit (starting maybe a foot below the lamp itself) though not sure if that will be necessary. If anybody has any suggestions or has experience with this type of bulb please share....

Just wanted to share because I'm excited!
Thanks!
Dan in Austin
