its a CFL, so just remember that the actual light intensity diminishes very very quickly as the distance between the bulb and its target are increased. you may need more than 1
they will do but would you rather be using a 400 or 600 hps instead of 600 watts of cfl? the heat given off those will be close to a 400 hps anyway and you will be getting more bang for your buck with the hps,
