Umm... even a small space heater draws more power than most high pressure sodium lights, and if the lights are run indoors they contribute to keeping the house warm. Especially if the house is heated with electricity or some other high-cost way I'd say it makes sense to keep them indoors. Arranging enough space for a banana plant and keeping the air humidity high enough can be a bit tricky though.
