It will. What will be especially interesting is to compare the light distribution.

By the numbers, each should provide about the same lumen count.

6 x 42W = 6 x 2700 lumens ~ 16200 lumens

1 x 150W HPS ~ 16000 lumens

There will be errors due to my cheapass HPS and the different spectra, age, etc., but we should be able to get the point.

What is especially interesting is that at the corners we should see better coverage from the CFLs, as they're closer, while at the center, the HPS should be better. And of course all of this will change with the distance from the canopy.

Let experimentation begin! (but after dark, 'cause it's hot as shit in this room atm)
