125W HPL - N I suppose is metal halide

definitely, you may go for power savings. will be beneficial

In fact, you may go for 2*36W or 3*36W CFL also. depend upon the light levels required.

you are right sir but i just want to replace lamp by CFL..... Because I have FLP light fittings in plant and it's costly. So i want to use that FLP encloser by just changeing CLF and removing chocks. And in that fitting only 80 thared holder CFL can use.... So don't have other opption. I have to use 80 W CFL

The new control gear may fit, but alter the internal design and you invalidate the Ex certificate.

So to save cost you will deliberately break the law?

Any mishap and the law will be locking you away for a long time.

Think about it!
