I have a dimmable ballast with three setting 50, 75 and 100 percent. Its a 400w light
Im kind of confused on this...I thought the main goal was to get the most lumens out of your light?? But according to the chart, id be getting the most lumen out of 200w 5 inches away with roughly 32,000 lumens? Correct?
200w 5 inches away = roughly 32,000 lumens
300w 7 inches away = roughly 25,000 lumens
400w 10 inches away = 16,501 lumens
So the 200w would be the best for the grow? Seeing how I can get more lumens?? or am I not fully understanding something?...
EDIT: I have no problem with heat at these distances
