However many 4 foot 2 lamp t-8 strips in the awning it takes to go across continuously and 2 150 watt metal halides is what we just did and it is great.

I have switched out all of my metal halides and now use the compact fluorescent ones. I believe they are 80watt. They put out just as much light as the metal halides did and I don't have to worry about ballast since they have it built in. I really like the CFW's.

LED are still too pricy for me. I recently swapped out my six 250W MH for six T5 HO dual lamp vapor proof fixtures I got from Kleen Rite.

More light than the MH and 1/3rd of the power consumption. Not to mention that the bulbs are much cheaper and much fewer problems firing.

I've started doing the same thing (Different fixture but same type). I was surprised at the amount of light from the T5 fixture. I don't think it's actually putting out more light than what was there, but it sure looks like it. Seems like less light wasted than the Scottsdales.
