^^ Very true. Use the lights that suit your grow.

For the most part i've been growing with MH and HPS all my growing career, but recently decided to give CFL's a go. Decided that while they work, they wernt giving me what i wanted so now im using them as side light, but im going to get some bar's too because its easier than having lots of smaller lights.
