a 125 watt CFL puts out 5500 lumens. 5 26 w CFLs put out a combined 8000 lumens, and cost less than a third of one of the 125 w bulbs altogether. Why get a 125w CFL?

Ill give you that, CFL's are a pain to work with, constantly moving them. Damn, 12000 lumens isn't bad. Do you have a link to the one you purchased?

just to throw something in here something is to be said for having multiple points of light (like having 6 23w) it discourages stretching and exposes parts of the plant that wouldn't get as much light normally.
