Cfl light question

I GOT 12 30 watt 2000 lumen CFLS equaling 360 watts Apparntley forming a dome of light around my plant IS THAT TO MUCH FOR 1 PLANT!?!? room deminsion is 3x3x6

don't worry, you won't blind it

If the temps are fine, it'll be fine

your good just keep them 6 in away so there is no heat to burn the leafs

alright cool cool. If i were to lst with cfls should the lights be hanging above them if so should i still put it 1-6 inches away from plant// if not can i lst with the cfls around the plant but wouldnt it be crazy direction since theres light around the whole thing

LST will be fine, I'm not sure that the plants discern the seperate light sources, so all around and above is fine. IMO, 6 inches is too far. I have a single 250w envirolite CFL that my plants are happy to have just an inch or so away with no heat damage. Lumens drop away quickly with distance, and more so with CFls than HPS, but as but as you can have them closer, this isn't really a problem.
