no your not. Your going to consume 560w (I think, I'm not too sure on your power calcs). 4x ODNO will not put out the same amount of light as 4 NO bulbs. If you can go 4x32w NO x 5 ballasts, well, that is a ton of light. Alot more than 560w of 4x ODNO.

Watts does not equal light people, learn this, its important. Yes, typically higher wattages of the same TYPE of bulb will USUALLY produce more light, but again, watts does not mean light.
