I have no proof to back this fishman but yes theoretically you are right, and practically you might be wrong. Reason being is HID light intensity is different from Sulphur Lamps. I'm not sure under what conditions or distance from the plant the two times HID photoponic output holds true, But i think its under the same coverage area as a HID if they are comparing. This is a whole new can of worms though,because we are not dealing with light waves as in HID and Fl. The Sulphur Lamp emits microwave without using a electrode, while HID lamps produce light by striking an electrical arc over a electrode. I'm just trying to show the contrast between both lights so there are alot of variables to take into consideration before we can accurately say it will light double the space of a HID at the same efficiency.
