This person hooked up his HTG 240w to a meter, pulled 156w. http://forum.grasscity.com/lighting/1017794-who-knows-about-htg-240w-7band-led.html#post14148719
Take some pics man!All I know is I love my 357 magnum 2012 model! I have it side by side with a 400 watt hps on super lumens setting. Buds under the led are noticeably bigger and the plants are very healthy.
What??? that's the lowest i've ever heard of on the 240........they seem to range from 136-148w.......you sure it's not the 180 BS??My blackstar 240 has an actual draw of 117 watts.
has to be the 180. thats the exact draw from them.What??? that's the lowest i've ever heard of on the 240........they seem to range from 136-148w.......you sure it's not the 180 BS??

Hello
Thank you for your purchase.
We manufacture some of our LED's. The 90, 135, 120, 240, and 300 watt models are all manufactured by us! We also carry some manufactured by High Yield Lighting, under the AgroMax Professional Series, those are the 432 and 864 watt 7-Band and the 150, 210, 280, and 370 watt Professional Series 5 Band LED's.
Our manufactured LED's operate at the stated wattage! Since we are not selling them to wholesalers or other retailers, we do not fall under ANSI regulations. ANSI regulations require that electronic products must state the maximum wattage the unit CAN pull, which as you have read may not be the actual draw. So our branded LED's will pull the stated wattage. You have the 240w LED and that does pull 240w.
The AgroMax Professional LED's pull on average 80% of what they are described as, due to the fact that they are sold to distributors and no directly to the customer, and thus fall under ANSI requirements.
Thanks again and have a niceday
