Rays LED lights and light meter measurements

[smokinjoe52]

Yes, I did mean lux, sorry about that.

One thing that has me perplexed, (well, one of many) is that you suggested 50 - 100 micromoles for Phals, but Ray's website says Phals do well around 30 for 12-14 hours/day.

Can you elaborate on that?

I have also added a couple intergeneric oncidiums to my collection. What would you recommend for micromoles in an artificial light environment like my tent? Hopefully I can achieve the number with the 6 lights in the tent.

BTW - My fc multiplier is .1746 :-)

I can add that oncidiums need slightly more light than a phal but not as much as a vanda or a catt.
