Yh lumens dont add up like that you can only get the max lumen intentisty as the mass of the blubs being used ...
SO IF I HAD ::::::::::::::::
2 x 125w 12000 lumens each it wont be 24000 lumens but (12000 lumens x 2 the coverage)

Like a 30w clf has 2000 Lumen intensity (so it cant penetrate the bud deep enough thats why you get reli small buds)
125w Envirolite cfl 12000 Lumen intensity (Envirolites can penetrate bud ok still not great but still with more light it will)
a 400w hps has around 55000 Lumen intensity (hps will penetrate bud great up to 10 ft away)
But what you gotta remember is the 27w has 3 times the coverage (3 - 48w CFL's, than 10 - 27w CFL's.)
But thats the REASON it grow fast in veg but not in FLOWERING

Nice explanation. Sound reasoning. For lighting the pot.
