I have been using the sunpulse bulbs for a few months now and they are amazing. The growth rate is phenomenal.
I have a question for someone with knowledge of lux, (or foot candles).
How far away do you put these lights? I always measured a distance in the past and used an ir thermometer to get the surface temp of the leaves. Recently i have been told by sunpulse that the light shouldnt be throwing any more than 50,000 lux onto the canopy or they are too close. Can anyone confirm this?
I was told that photosynthesis actually is slowed down when the light is too intense (obviously) which is over 50k lux. Has anyone else ever heard this or have an experience with sunpulse bubls?
I always get stretching during veg, so recently ive moved the light super close to the canopy. These bulbs actually run cooler than others so the temp is not compromised.
Anyone with advanced knowledge please reply.
Thanks
