My $10 light experiment

Hello!
I like ordering cheap crap online so I bought this 80w cob led outdoor light, 2700k.
So the images are just less than 4 days apart so hopefully you can see how much she's grown. Apparently 100 lumen/watt but i dunno how reliable
that is...

She seems to be doing well. Very little heat coming out, the reflector seems to be acting as a heatsink. You can get this really close to the plant. Temps around 23°.
What do you think? Would you carry on or get the Proper lights (a mini cree cxa2530 x 4 light i made) out?
Cheers!
 
It'll work for now but you're going to require some more juice as she gets older. What kind of umols that thing putting out?

No idea, all i know is its allegedly 80w 2700k and 100L/W. Dont have a wall meter so I cant check actual draw.
How do you measure umols, do you need some kind of meter?
