After one day of shifting my lights to put the Wills 150 watt light up and shift my Bestva 105 Watt light and my~80 watt Burple Vander. I have to say I got some light burn, despite not raising the Lumens that much. I think the plants reacted to the difference in Spectrum.
I have to say that the Wills 140 watt is a disappointment so far. It does put out a lot of light but it is not that efficient. It lacks 730 nm spectrum LEDs and is probably not as effecient in umols/j. They say in the poorly written sheet 2.7 um/j but my Candlepower meter can't prove that. It does, at 150 watts get hotter than my 105 watt Bestva, but the heat sink is poor for heat exchange too.The single point hanger system takes up a lot of vertical space, I need another yo yo for it and it will work much better. It does have a nice rectangular footprint and I think once the plants get used to the diffferent spectrum it will do better. That and dim it a bit for a while.
Interestingly, the Vander Burple really perked up my White Widow Auto #2 and got her to start to stretching! I may raise the light a bit tomorrow. It's down to ~3" now.
