Not really, it has to do with the efficiency of the item in question, at turning electron energy into photons. If it is not effectively done, then the waste is given off as heat. Look at an incandescent light compared to an led.

Re: The need for a "BRIX FAQ" and input for said. We, in general, I believe, are getting a handle on the Minerals. The next aspect is Mycorrhizae, a (the) fungus that helps the plants out most. Just plunging "Mycorrhizae" into your favorite "shopping app, should show a few choices. There are...

The quick math that I used as electrician, was watts/100=amps this will be off, as the true formula is watts/120=amps, but dividing by 100 is easy, and gives you a number on the high side, by 20%.
