Can I use these LED lights to grow?

[Themitch]

Hey gang!

I have 3 of these lights on hand, that I can gut and make into one big light, or use them as 3 seperate hanging lights. Each light has 40 LED lights. Here is the spec sheet for the lights I have:

120 - 277 volt, 94 watt, 700 mA, 60 Hz, LED Lamp, 40 Lamps, 6540 lumens, 60000 hr Average Life, 4000 K Color Temperature, 70 CRI.

I have compared the wattage input to other grow lights, and lumen output. It looks like if I turned the 3 of them into a custom light, it would be suitable for growing 2 plants in a 4x4x7? I know enough about LED to know that the wattage is just the power used, but a little lost on how to know if the light output is good enough. Also, how important is the spectrum lighting? Like those premade lights with the VEG and FLOWER switch. I'm going to be growing autoflower if that matters.

Thanks for all your help, if you need photos or more info just ask. Happy 4/20 gang!

Can you post a photo of the lights?

If you check my thread, i have a DIY led lights that are working unreal right now. 640 true watts from the wall, with 2 x 320 watt drivers powering 3 x 120 watt 288 led light boards. theyre under powered which brings the efficacy up. theyre prob around 2.5-2.8 umole.

Same here. I’m running 4-288 HLG boards with 2-240 adjustable drivers.

Very nice, I also bought the adjustable drivers. Love this set up, you’re hlg are bout 5 percent more efficient than my boards but I got 6 for a 5x5 to over compensate. Everything all together was around 1k CAD or roughly 700 usd.

See attached. have 3

If you compare the numbers and size to other lights. it looks like one a plant would be suffice?

That's great. but would be nice to save a bit and use something I already have. of course as long as it's going to work heh

You could always test “a” seed and find out.

Would it be as simple as calling the manufacturer? And asked, "would this like replace a 600w HPS in terms of light output"

I don’t recognize them. Try a web search also. Manufacturer? Model?

According to google. LED wattage of 100w should equal 250w HPS. so using some very rough math. these 3x94w "guts" should transfer to about 600+ wattage of HPS
