Kon have you used the 5000k ones. I got a 300w 5000k lvd. Waiting for the hood to get here. I asked them if they have a par rating and they said they would get back to me next week. But they referred me to inda gro with a pdf article talking about high par inductions and how inda gro has the highest par of any induction.
Ok yes I have used a 5000k one
The lamp in question was my 200w Brightmax its a rectangle type it was in its full weather proof casing I used it outside one night to light up the garden when me and a mate did some bits for my grow.
It lacks some red but is very bright I used my 3 way tester on it and the gauge pop`s all the way over to 2000 when your around 12 inch`s away from the lamp from memory this was also with the 2nd glass screen on it.
It should only have a bit less red then the 3000k but it could have a bit more uvb, are you planing to use it with some leds or something ? It should be similar to a 400w MH but you can let the plant get to around 3 to 6" from the lamp as you probably know inductions work best when allowed to heat up a bit so always put your extract over your induction lamp and not under it that allows heat to build up in the hood and let`s them fully light up.
I`d flower under one like it was a 400w hps if you add some red led to it then you could probably match a 600w hps for around 350w if you add more then 50w of red led then I`d start to add a little blue led too but no point adding any uv as the induction has enough you could add a little IR but I`m not sure you need it just good old cheap 630nm should do the trick with most strains.
Ah yes LVD I had a bit of a chat with them here`s a funny bit of "chinglish" it`s kind of what ended up making me like brightmax and another company called "sunshine.......... something or another

Now after he started quoting me $300 for shipping on a tube for my lamp I picked a fight with him by asked "Your boss invented the Induction Lamp" ? So is your boss`s name Tesla ? can I speak to him ?
Then brightmax came back with a much cheaper quote but Sunray probably make some of the better "grow" induction stuff in china.
