ya lol its not much. Lets say you swap your bulbs every year thats $90 each bulb you save. You save some on your AC as well....they for sure wont put out as much heat as a DE gas bulb. Lets say 20% there too?What would the savings be vs a DE? 200 watts and bulb change? So like 20 buck a month savings?
The even spread is really nice too if you have low ceilings. The spectrum may or may not be better than the ones DE HPS bulbs give out. I wouldnt go full blast on it though right away. Id test out the 720w for a run or two before going boost mode.
Idk how long it would take for you to pocket that money saved for your electricity after dropping $1050 on it. Instead of just getting a DE fixture for like $300-350 with the bulb. Probably guesstimating like 3 years assuming you pull the exact same as you do with your DE fixtures.
I have no doubt youll pull some serious numbers with these LEDs per light though. If Gavitas umol is 1700 and people are pulling 3+ with it and this is putting out 2000+ umols on boost mode and you have your nutes and temps and co2 dialed in. oh lordy...pushing the plant to its limit.
