Low stress training

Hi Guys, Is there any reason why, rather that bending a larger plant for LST, you can't just use 2x200 watt hps lights and have them hanging down by the side of the plant rather than the light coming from the top as normal? Would this have the same affect?

Also if you have a few plants, surely 3x200 watt hps would be better for light distribution than 1x600 watt light?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks
