So what is being said then ( seance everyone is bickering about lumens , we forgot why this is important :-) is that at 2 to 3 inches away with the EVL is about the same lumens as the HPS 400w at one foot. This is great news for small space growers!!
I have had similar results as well..
My High out put Compact Fluos put out this..
4 - 55 watt Biax high out put Compact Fluos. 2 - 6500k and 2 3000k with reflector. at 2 inches from light 4750 ft candles at 78 degrees. at 10 inches. 4250 at 70 degrees!
now that I know the Ft candel to Lumens conversion, I am a happy man !
I have been keeping the plants at about 3 inches away, at 4300 ft candels = 54,180 lumens!!
