I think for 200 amps you could service a lot of lights but the bigger concern would be the house wiring...you'd need a lot of circuits.

Metal Halides need their own breaker and new wiring for safety concerns.These bulbs draw an incredible amount of juice,plus the fact that you need to run fans for cooling purposes also.A separate panel for indoor growing is the best way to go altogether.

What happened to the good old days where all you needed was a couple of flood lights and a tinfoil closet.

Or when you needed multiple fingers to measure a dime bag.....
