They are not 2x the lumen output per bulb. Maybe someone with a PAR meter can verify that in terms of 665nm, 465nm, 673nm, and 726nm??? I'm curious actually ;)


T12VHO = 11,600 total lumens =...

This is funny. I've seen a few snide remarks on this forum before, but I thought maybe it was a fluke. I was wrong - ALToronto apparently has an attitude problem.

So without the attitude, here's...

Hey man. It is understandable that a strip is appealing. It is already wired and almost a plug and play. The issue really is as everyone said - you will need a lot to make the proper intensity. And...

Hello!

So surprisingly enough, it wasn't terribly hard to mount LEDs to stars. I took the star, put a lot of flux on the copper contact points (on the star but for the LED - not the wire contact...

The size v performance is why I originally got this LED for my wedding. I had to run a string of them in series for the colors we were looking for. It worked well, purple room with pink...

Hello guys,

Does anyone have exp with LEDs?

I am well versed in LEDs but I lack a PAR meter. I currently have two 840 lumen (5,000K or 5,700K) set up 10 inches from the mount.

They put out...

I wish I didn't need to grow under lights, but the weather isn't co-operating still. Tomorrow night, for instance, is supposed to be nearly 30F. So, alas, I have no choice but to use...

Wait a tick - So I was curious about the fc to lm conversion. This is the formula I foun: 1 foot-candle [ft·cd, fc] = 1 lumen/foot² [lm/ft²].

So that means 800fc = 800lm p/sq. ft.?

At 8 or so...

Interesting. I didn't know that. One LED is dimmer than two, so I assumed it's brighter, but it's not?

What do you think about the rest of the post other than the lumens?

Ok, so should I take the phal off before he's toast? The LEDs put out no heat to the plant, just light. I have extra cork bark that I can mount the phal on though. But I don't want another move to be...
