Question

if you had four 32 watt florescent light bulbs in 1 fixture and 25 fixtures would they use more energy than fourteen 175 Watt metal halide light fixtures with light bulbs in them running?

Answer 1

Fluorescent 4-32W + E Ballast (~7W.) = 135W x 25 Fixt.s = 3375W.

Metal Hal.1-  175W. + Ballast (~15W.) = 190W. x 14 Fixt.s = 2660W.

Answer 2

Why, I don't know. I use CFLs.
