I would like to take this opportunity to offer my gratitude to this forum. The knowledge I have gained in the last year and a half, so graciously shared by many of you, directly resulted in me, NEVER being sucked into the shameful vortex of ignominious LED marketing horse-puckey.

how bout you just replace your 1000 w bulb with a 400W bulb and $50 ballast and get more lumens than the 36000 lumens that thing has lol

blows my mind that snake oil salesmen are still out there.

It's also spectrally-tuned.
Yea, probably to 2700°l/CRI90 or so....at least it looks like.
But efficiency is below 100lm/w so even if it would be CRI97 it would be far away from good. Vero29 decór in CRI97 is 129lm/w at nom. current and you can get 8 of them with 2 HLG-185's for ~300$. That's ~450w at the wall and +50.000lm.
But that's still no 1000w HPS replacement but it would beat a 600w bulb easily.

Look at the 2500 and 2700°k spectrums below they look almost similar...
