You can try them...If it projects the blue spectrum of light it should be good. But 180watts on 10+ plants wont work...Buy like 4 of the blue tipped ones and then get 4 of the full spectrum compact spiral fluros. Ya might have to get more fixtures obviously..Now if you want to spend a little more money, go buy some good HPS lights. Mixing lights is ok too..In some cases its pointless, but it doesnt hurt..
