I ask this because I have 3 lights with 2 closets - 400w hps, 250w mh and enough cfl's to light-up a small village!!
This is good if you have some badass ventilation or you can keep the door open all day. A 400w and a 250w would give you about 81 watts per Sq.Ft. Which 81 watts per square foot of full spectrum lighing would be badass... but difficult to keep at a consistent temp. I would just use the HPS (400/8=50 watts per sq) with a few cool blue CFLs.
