thats 150 watts incadescent. but the wats isnt a good measurment of light any ways. i would not suggest cfls for such a large grow it will still make your light bill go up, except for the clones maybe and or secondary lights. also with cfls they say to use about 100 watts per plant and alot of people use maybe 5 of those lights per plant that would be way to much for you.
EDIT: cfls work great for small grows but not for big grows and it also says if you use cfls to use 100 watts for the first plant and 30 watts for each extra plant but i still think this is a bad idea for you
