The lumens outpout is the thing to check. More lumes = more light !

[Gatekeeper777]

the more lumans you have the more light is produced. Hight is not measured in watts.
It's measured in LUMANS

[followthelight]

yea, but what confuses me is......

Luminescence (this lumens?)
&
lux?

Add as much light, in USEABLE LUMENS, as you can cram in the space before you run up against HEAT as a limiting factor. I run 2000w in a 6x6x6 cube and it's just a matter of cooling the space and bringing in enough fresh air. Always choose your lighting and ventilation TOGETHER!
