Hi-

I have a 250 watt lamp. If I add another 250 watt bulb, would it be the same as having a 500 watt bulb ?

Not quite, but close. HPS bulbs produce more lumens per watt the higher the wattage gets, so 2 x 250w < 500w. Also you must think in terms of the canopy penetration, again the higher the wattage the better canopy penetration. However this is offset by the fact that you'd have 2 sources instead of one....
