Just asking here...
You said the hc4 will outdo a traditional hps, 264µmol at 200w, so two of these would be 528 at 400w.
The link you posted says that traditional hps gives 618µmol at 400w.
This shows that on this comparison the hps outperforms the led!
BUT!!!! This is only the comparison of two lights! Different lights use different parts and give different results.
So unless you are talking about the difference between two specific lights there realy is no point trying to say which one is better in the general sense!
Then you have the other big debate between the two, canopy light penetration! But im defo not getting into that, not enough evidence and two many people with their own opinions rhat denounce anothers just because its not the same as theirs... ✌

The HC4 runs at 200w, not 400w as per the link showing the difference between 400w HPS and 400w LED Cob.

And, if you read back, I did ask for what he defined as an "average" cob build as the variations there are phenomenal. Note how he never answered that one.

So, when wattage is equal and coverage is equal, the link tells you that Cob is significantly more efficient insofar as producing light in the measurements he asked for, and since he couldn't define his own question he got answers that showed PRECISELY the difference when things are "equal" as far as wattage and area covered goes.

And he also confirmed things by pointing out how cob is better for indoors due to running cooler, as that does mean less energy is wasted in the form of heat.

It's not difficult.
