changing out 150 watt hps for cfl

[better bud]

hello,i have a question for someone-can i replace an 150 watt hps with 2-125 watt cfl lights,will it be enough light,i know that it will be more watts,than the 150 watt hps,but just because it will be more watts does not mean that the light given from the cfl's will be as good as the 150 watt hps,i don't know if it will work without messing up the flowers that is growing under the 150 watt-please help

Why are you considering switching?

How many plants? what size? how big is the area?

the reason why,i want to use the 150 for another project that i am working on,where it is now i have 2 150's on 8 females on their 5th week of flowering,i want to take one of them out,and replace it with 2-125 watt cfl's if it will work with out messing up my girls,i have been inspired by freezerboy,and i want to try it out-freezerboy is rocking a stand up freezer

I'd just get another 150w. The dual 125s will cost you at least as much, and put off more heat than you might expect.

Can't beat $60 for a complete fixture.
