When you do the upgrade to HID (even 2 150w hps will make a big difference) take those cfls and put them in every light in your house; when I did, my bill dropped 20% (enough to completely offset the cost of running my current light setup) and some of the bulbs are 5 years old now. Cheers to you being cost-effective however, happy growing and good luck with your wiring project .
