Did you end up updating your layout? I have three of these about to go over my new setup, and am invested in seeing how this turned out.
 
What do you all think? Its basically a slightly smaller SBreef light clone. lol LED's are so inexpensive I may just buy all new LED's since these lights are going on 4 years old.

What layout did you end up using?
 
In the picture of the lights on the closer side had been replaced and the further side was the original layout still.
 
SB Lights have 55 bulbs. They are advertised as 3 watts each as in 55x3 to get 165 watts.
I have had 6 of the SB Lights and none of them drew more than 110 watts at 100% output.
I suspect they are really only 2 watt bulbs. The math adds up.
