I'm sorry, this seems self explanatory, but I thought maybe I am missing something.
I currently use 3x125 watt CFL grow lights, they produce 30k lumens.
I am thinking of switching to 1x250 watt HPS, which would also produce 30k lumens.
My grow space is 20"x36"x5.5'
It seems like obviously the 375 watts of CFL lighting would take up more power than the single 250 watt HPS. But then there are other factors like amperage, etc.
Am I right in thinking the 250 watt will draw less power?
Thanks.
