High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs. One 175 Watt uses only a little more po=wer than a bank of 4 flourescent 40 Watt tubes

I have mounted 2 outdoor type 75W wall mounted HPS fixtures (Home Depot).=I moved some of the high MH light orchids and a putative saxatile x tort=uosum hybrid, from the central area, to within 1 foot (~ 35 cm) under one=HPS unit and they have responded well even though the light gives the pl=ants a yellow cast when on.

====> This sounds like a fantastic idea!  Any chance you can expl=ain the set-up a bit more thoroughly?  Do the HPS fixtures need to be re-=wired? How do you mount them over the bench/table? Can you send me a phot=o?  (I get the messages in digest form)
