Probably just gonna cut 3 of them down til I get another light... absolutely gutted but I'd rather know now than later...

They look so happy though... gonna feel like a murderer

Light measurements

 

[Lochness1980]

A foot-candle (sometimes foot candle; abbreviated fc, lm/ft2, or sometimes ft-c) is a non-SI unit of illuminance or light intensity. The foot-candle is defined as one lumen per square foot.
Unit of: illuminance
SI derived unit: 10.76 lux
Unit system: United States customary units
CGS units: 1.076×10−3 phots

The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance, measuring luminous flux per unit area. It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface.
Unit system: SI derived unit
Unit of: illuminance
American Customary units: 0.0929 fc

no idea of this is even helpful lol

 

[jondamon]

Not sure about Lux but my HPs lamp gives off 56000 lumens. It’s 400w.

Sorry tell a lie it’s got 3w LED DIODES.

60 of them. So that’s a grand total of 180w of LED power.

enough for approx 2ftx2ft floor space with around 2ft tall plants.

what are you Hoping to achieve here?

3oz per plant?

1oz per plant?

I have 100 diodes in this light so should be at least 300 right.?

 

[jondamon]

If you have 100 diodes at 3w each yes it should be 300w.

one thing to bare in mind is that the blurple style lights are the least effective LED tech compared to something like a LUMATEK ATTIS 300w. Or HLG panel etc.

but if it’s true 300w you maybe ok flowering those plants.

[Lochness1980]

up to you bud. Like I said im not an LED guru but there are plenty of guys in here that are.

try to stay away from BLURPLE panels and work towards getting something better.

there is an advertiser for the U.K. that sells LED’s here on Riu But I can’t remember their name.

Check for RIU advertisers sections and check out LED U.K. etc. They sell really quality panels.

@LEDGROWSHOP.CO.UK can you help this guy out.

 

[insomnia65]

I wouldn't buy the same light, nor what your are thinking of buying, I I deratand money is tight I'm in the UK too, what about a Miiju or kings right China knock off

Just found some mould around the drainage holes??? Any need to be worried???

 

[Lochness1980]

It's only on the drainage holes... some people are saying it's good... 'white mould is gold's but as a newbie I just want to ask you guys as the info I have received here has been pretty much 100%
