Because of safety concerns (fire and energy companies flagging your energy usage to the authorities) I'm trying to avoid the heat and energy usage involved with the HPS and MH bulbs. Maybe I'm being overly cautious but I am new to this.

I know that these lights haven't been used or tested by any of you guys, but, using the knowledge you have regarding light needs, what specs and features would you look for to satisfy a grow like mine?

Thank you all for your willingness to help! :hippy:
