I have about 150w of CFLs right now and they are really easy to install and keep cool. I have them plugged into socket adapters with 4 plugged into one power strip and then a couple plugged into another for around 150w. This method is pretty slim and a good shape for a PC case since is is long and distributes light evenly. also stays cool with a fan on them.
now i'm wondering if there is any reason to switch to a 150w HPS setup instead. are there any advantages? I don't know how much space I would need to mount it but vertical space is a big concern. plus since they are shorter i wonder how even the lighting is for a narrow longer grow space like a big computer tower.
