The 105 watt looks same size as 65 watt bulb but with twice the size of the ballast

Yh your lights would be great man i dount you even need the small 23w blubs as they are only around 1300 lumens which for real wont be helping your plant much the big ones are .
i got the same ones
1 x 125w (12000)lumens
2 x 85w (5500)lumens

the 45 to 55 watt one(or whatever that 40 to 50 watt range is) is more efficent per watt then any of the large or smaller wattages. Keeping the small ones really close like 1-2 inches with fans will give you really busy plants with only a little topping its hard to see into these bushes interiors. At least thats from my experience.
