no i know it will work. god i really am not as stupid as you think im being, i know 150w hps will work great. i know thats alot better than any cfl light. i know it would be sweet for that space, im just saying that people worry about smudges on theyre bulbs because it cuts like 3% of light transition, how much do you think the caging around the bulb on that cuts? like 30? 40%? im also not doubting that they will work! im sure they will and work good, alot better than cfls any way. sry, ill just stop bitchin. i would have totaly used them if i walked by them in the store while buying bulbs.
