I found one of these in my shop, has a slight defect so we can't install it, and too old to return. Anyone ever use one of them for any of their growing needs?

Light Efficient Design LED-8088M40 - Wall Pack LED - 4000K

Any input is appreciated!!

Cheers!

4000K led 50w-anyone ever use one of these for Veg?

It looks like a good spectrum. And runs pretty cheap. I would want to use it as an alternative to cfls, as to use one light instead of half a dozen, but looking for advice if it fits our application first.

I tested this guy in my shop today. 49.9w at the wall, and the lux readings were right on with advertised.

This is reading 11400 lux at 18".

That seems like it should do great for lil ones, right? Any advice or suggestions or knowledge or even a good joke appreciated. Cheers!
