Yeah just watch what wattage you're looking at. If it's 200 actual watts used by the CFL (that's pretty big), the CFL uses 200w. With HID's however, I get the impression that they use more than they are rated, hence the huge amounts of heat. Overall yes, 200w CFL will use as much energy as a 200w HID. But anyway I'd never bother with a 200w CFL. If I wanted one big light, I'd get a HID.
