150,000 Lumens At Over 150 Lumens Per Watt

[GrowQs]

What LED lights would you recommend to achieve atleast "150,000 lumens @ Over 150 Lumens Per Watt" and include the total price of your suggested kit..
Bonus for efficiency advantages over 150 Lumens per Watt..

And I'm talking actually putting out 150k lumens @ over 150 L/W, not just the capability of each separately..

Go..

Why would you need over 2800+ umols/s when that's way more than you could use even with high C02?

My lights put out about 110,000 lumens at 325 watts.
That's over 2000 umol/s which is WAY more than I can use so I have them dimmed down to 250 watts which raises their efficiency nicely.
I get about 339 lumens per watt which I cant even use because it's too intense.

Cost is about $400 per light

Wow, what light is this doing 339 l/w?

I'd look in your "Current Grow Journal " but your signature link seems to be broken..

 

[Nunyabiz]

One that I made myself.
I used 8 Pacific Light Concepts Photoboost Strips for each light.

LM301B diodes and Cree XP-G3 photo red diodes.

A lot of Mars lights has high lumen and over 150lumen/w, just chek a few test report below.

Lumen is important, but for plants, PAR output is even more important. When you choose lights, you can consider:
- Growing space (a suitable light to cover your space well)
- Wattage (enough wattage)
- PPFD output (enough PPFD output to cover the space growing)
- Spectrum (the spectrum that plants needs)
- Price (depend on your budget)
Just my second. hope it can be helpful!

 

[GrowQs]

Something that can beat this @ 145,000 lumens @ 145 lumens per watt...

Or, par readings..

How are you getting 339 L/W with LM301B diodes when HLG says their LM301B diodes will only get 206 L/w turned all the way down to 1/6th of their max MA draw and only putting out 4,700 lumens per 288 board? You sure you didn't typo that?

You would need 31 ! 288 boards to match the lumen output of a 1kw HPS @ 206L/W ... LMFAO
To get only about a 35% efficency advantage on your electric bill..

The LEDs won't even fit in the space to get that efficency out of them..

It just doesn't add up..

 

[GrowQs]

If LEDs are Sooooo much better than HPS then come here and show me how with facts and stats because I don't get it...

I don't want any of these "tiny tent no room" excuses or "heat" excuses either..


I want to see how it could possibly be done any better than this...

How can that be beat with LEDs?
Explain..

needs a picture of jesus

 

[Nunyabiz]

The only usable distance for that 1000w HPS is 27"

My light has better spread and numbers than that at 18" and I can use it at 6".

My light puts out 110,000 lumens max at 325 watts.
That comes out to 338.46 lumens per watt does it not?

You've clearly got some kinda bug up your ass so frankly I have no desire to sit here and argue with you.

LED beats HPS all day long in virtually every category.
You can piss and moan about that all you wish.

Those numbers for the HLG are for one board running 288 diodes.
Mine is 16 strips running 1600 diodes.
More points of light crossing over.

 

[GrowQs]

Ok, bye..

I don't believe your "338.46 lumens per watt "...

my hps is way closer that 27 inches lol

led cope 100%

Then it's not quite the same as the one in the above graph or you're just blasting them with more PPFD than they need or can use without C02.
Anything over about 1000 PPFD is too intense for most cultivars.

I have to dim mine down by 25% as it is.
There is such a thing as too much light you know, and 100,000 lumens is far too much, 150,000 is WAY too much and is nothing but a heat machine.

55,000 lumens translates to about 1000 umols/s which is optimum light intensity for most cultivars not bathing in 1500ppm of C02.

Anything above that is a total waste of electricity.

i use that exact same hortilux, its not that hot in a cool tube, you can touch them with your hand.
im not going to engage in the tough talk, because hurtng feeling over lights is silly, but you are wrong.

 

[Nunyabiz]

Yes obviously using a cool tube you can get closer.
It also cuts down some of the intensity and lumens.
But at least you can get better light penetration with it.

Yes it is silly, I couldn't give a single shit what anyone uses.
But I am not wrong either.

Both LED and HPS deliver way more PPFD than any cannabis plant can possibly use.
Difference is that LED does it way more efficiently.
