Forget lumens, your fixture could care less about that and has no bearing what so ever. However, Most vanity fixtures are rated at a max of 100 watts per socket, in this case I would be willing to bet that it would be exceeding its capacity by 50 watts per socket. Will it work, sure. The question you have to ask your self is if your willing to take the risk. Is the potential of catching your place on fire worth the risk? Yes your plants will grow, but not if you catch them fire.

If you are willing to spend 900watts of power, why not just buy a real hps light? You will have better results.
