2,100,000 Lumen, how much will I yield?
This proves that if a grower sees K temps in the right range, ANY light might be considered. Roflmao
So, the ways I figured it, are these. 5000 lumens per Sq ft,... And 11,000 Lumens per Sq ft (what my bosses lumen meter says outside).
At 5000 LPSF it would cover 420 (what a number, is it destiny?
) Square feet or enough space to grow 168 plants with 2.5sf each.
At 11,000 LPSF (Sun intensity?) it would cover 190.9 square feet or 76 plants with 2.5 sf each.
I've felt the heat generated by one of these. It's quite intense. On a cold Colorado night you can feel the heat like a summer sun from well over 20 yards off when aimed at you. So height is key. You'd need to mount this VERY high to allow the light and intense heat to dissipate enough for growing. My personal guess would be a few stories, maybe even 6-8 stories high. If you mounted this that high. You could grow giant indoor trees that might need 10 square feet each.
This heat AND the distance you'd need to spread the light to cover such a large area makes me think this unworthy of further thought.
I'll admit I found the posting very amusing to say the least.:thumbsup:[align=center]A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.[/align]
