I have a 400 watt hps cool tube. I also have four 55 watt cfls. Do you guys think my tent would benefit by hanging the four 55 watt cfls vertically, or would it just be a waste of energy? I know the cfls don't have the penetrating light but I was thinking it would add two hundred more watts. Anyone?

More light is always a good thing! As long as you don't add heat. You've got a cool tube, and cfls run cool. I would use them as side lighting, and I'm sure you will enjoy uusing both!
