Do Two 300W LED Lights Equal 600W?

[RobertM46]

I'm curious if you have a 300w led..then decide to add another 300w led. Does that make it like having a 600w? I kind of doubt it..but figured I'd ask.

Yes.

How much is 300+300=???

 

[Phenogino]

No, it doesn’t. It’s still 300w intensity wise, but by adding a second one it just gives you more canopy coverage.

 

[Creature1969]

it just gives you more canopy coverage.

Which is what a 600w LED would do compared to 300w. Requiring more power to light all those extra chips.

So, like, ummmm 600w of canopy coverage kinda?

 

[Phenogino]

So, you’re running 3 X400 watt hps lights, 1200 watts power usage. The plants are still receiving whatever lumens a 400 produces, maybe a little more where the light intersects. But swap those lights out with 2 X600 watt hps, less canopy coverage, but tighter buds than the 400’s.
That make sense ?

We're talking about LED here if you haven't noticed.

 

[Phenogino]

Yeah, I know.
Just an example I was thinking about.

No it doesn’t at all. Watts are watts.

600. But don’t take my word for it, been a while since grade 4 math.

 

[Brettman]

BIG FAT COLAS

First 300 light was $303.99, plan buy one more as cheaper.

See it, only more coverage, not more power, THX

So light intensity 600W higher 300w.

Get it, THX
