if i understand that chart correctly then a 150w hps thats rated at 16,000 lumens is worth 16,000 lumens within 1' of the plants, 3/4 that amount 2 ' away 1/2 count 3' away and so on and so on...correct. well im not sure where you can find 16,000 lumen cfls at 150w or less because my plants will get within 6-9" of the bulb with my cool tube fan turned off and will wrap around the glass when the fan is on.....i automatically gain at least 6 inches of peno from the fact that my light sits on top of the plants. this is fact. my setup must blow any hps away for lumens unless the scientists who maade this are wrong.
