If you could address the heat issue caused by the lights, and match the wavelength emitted to the stage the plant would be in (eg. 490-450 nm for growth,730-650 nm for bloom), then just using a full spectrum fluorescent to cover the fringes your neons wouldn't catch, it could probably do very very well. I'm just suggesting the fluorescent instead of your current HPS to reduce the energy requirement of having neon + HPS instead of neon + fluorscent.
