cxb3590 driven at 1400ma

[BlackD.O.G]

Hey guys I was hoping someone knowledgable enough can help me cut to the chase. I just wanted to know what my PPFD would be if I purchased a 10 cob setup driven at 1400ma. If I read correctly the CXBs will be approx 56% efficient at that current. I will learn how to calculate PPFD eventually but for now its baby steps on this whole light engineering.

ppfd is what you want to know? google it, you will see that the d is for density

we can't answer how dense the photons will be without knowing how much space they are spread out over

How about a 4x4 and a 3x3 space

Math was never a good subject in school, I will look into that. 772 is a great number for 4x4 tho huh

Its a better PPDF than a 600hps in the same space so cant complain!
This is the very same tool you asked about earlier today on another thread. Enjoy playing with it. Its as addictive as crack.
