You actually have a 42 watt bulb that puts out the same light that 200 watts of incandescents puts out. It's still just a 42 watt bulb though, which is ok mind you! It's just not a 200 watt CFL like you're suggesting. If it were, it'd be putting out over 10,000 lumens. I've got 10 of those 40+ watt CFL's plus 2 23 watters and a 2 footer and 4 footer. Still not enough. I bought a few 43 watters at Super Sprawl Mart...for $9 each.
