I'll take 225w too, thanks for info, and extra amperage doesnt hurt either. My understanding is the CLU 048 1818's perform best over 90w?
Agree, based on sq footage it is enough light, but my carbon filter hogs space at the top so I run my lights on both sides of it to gain some additional height clearance.
Using 225w usage for half the tent (2.75 sq/ft) gets me 81w sq/ft, but I'm more interested to find out what my PPFD is for this 2 cob setup. But I'm lost.
The formula according to Flexy123 is:
Input power [W] x efficiency [dimensionless quantity] = radiant power [W]
luminous flux [lm] / LER (luminous efficiency of radiation) [lm/W] = radiant power [W]
radiant power [w] x QER (quantum efficiency of radiation) [µmol/J] = photon flux [µmol/s]
photon flux [µmol/s] / area [m^2] = photon flux density [µmol/s/m^2]

- LER = 281
- QER = 4.95
Will you be pumping 112 watts to those 1818s?? Or is it 81w?
