What's with dimming ? When I read about most LED builds lights, I see people talking of dimming them. Why ? With other methods of
lighting ( HPS, MH, CMH,ect) I never see dimming suggested, only more power/watts .
What am I looking for in regards to LED's? draw at the wall ? Lumens at canopy ? Other ?
How am I to know what the sweet spot is ? What do I need to dial in LED's ?

I've not read all the replies it might have been mentioned?
I've 2 hid ballasts one runs 250 and 275w boost 400 + 10% boost 600 + 10% boost or super lumen, my other does 400/1000 + 10% boost.
The above let's me use hid from day 1 right through all of the stages without burning money.
