And I meant 270 on the wattage sorry about the 300 but still and yes it's 1200 for a reason. And yeah it's compared to 1000 watt hid as far as how much light it puts out but you can adjust your color spectrum settings. To the optimal color for cannabis plants. Do some research on color Spectrum before getting into LED's. These lights offer full control of your led's unlike any other on the market. lED's are fairly new in the growing industry and still under all sorts testing be careful with bunk products
So, I went and looked at their youtube video, and again, they don't give any info on diodes or optics... So still, you have left us again without any specs. Not to mention that in the video he says it is a replacement for a 600w (which is at least realistic) and then, almost as an afterthought he throws in 'up to 1000w'. Once again though, what are you basing your statement on? you have a 1000w and have run PAR tests, if so what bulbs, what ballast, what reflector, and most importantly, what par ratings at what height (usually when people post par ratings they are in the form of pictures)? Perhaps you just looked at it and decided you have become the first human quantum light meter? Once again, if they were using the Cadillac of LED's (cree), they still aren't going to match a 1000w. I apologize if you believed the hype, but if the only thing you have to back up your claim is the advertising given to you by the retailer, and the accuracy of your eyes as light meters, then I'd say your post is rather premature.
Can't help but also point out that their adjustable spectrum is a dimmer on LED banks, which means that if you are tuning it at all, you are losing PAR.
Edit: Also, $1200 is not expensive as far as LED's go, it's kinda average. This doesn't exactly look worth it to me, and the lack of spec info is disturbing.
