I want that 900 watt light simple as that what a BEAST garuanteed. Could you explain eumoles and how much higher you are eumoles are then other lights. What is the average ?
Led will not lower costs unless it has a higher efficiency than the light your comparing and that really has little to do with sizing. At 1900+ umoles I think it's one of the most powerful lights available.
I wish other companies listed specific numbers like this. Would make comparing facts a lot easier on make light choices. A Mars watt and a Amare watt are 2 totally different thing.
µmols (mikromol) seem to be the light photons- so as far as my understanding goes the 'light strength'. I have read an article (new, from yesterday), claims a classic HPS light (without reflector or ballast efficiancy counted in) has an efficiancy of 1,7 µmol per joule. sanlight (this article was about their led lights) claims to reach 2,3 µmol per joule- at this rate you get 10% more light on footprint with 420w actual draw than with a 600w hps they say. It was also mentionet one can save between 30-40% of power consumption at this rate. Claims over claims, just had to mention it real quick for y'all.
@BigSm0 http://sanlight.info/EN/About-us/ there are some datasheeds, havn't checked them yet but already downloaded the pdf, should help with comparing
