I believe the advertised output is 15000. Interested note, i measured how many amps these draw and the four together only drew 4 amps @ 110 volts which works out to only 440 watts for all four bulbs. I will be testing 2 of these fixtures with a total of 8 bulbs and a total of 880 watts to do a true comparison between these and 1000 watt HPS. Our goal is to yield 2+ pounds. I think it's going to perform well as the light distribution is very even through out our grow area. As to were to get them, my friend works for the distributor. You can order them through him at [email protected] they also have some very new CFL's that are very efficient and use a standard lamp base. These are called Parmax Rosebud CFL's, they are 105 watts but light output is 30% higher than conventional spiral and U type cfls'. The theory is the shape of the bulbs have wider gaps between the tubes allowing more light to shine through the inner core of the bulb were as the spirals and u's light is trapped in the inner core of the tubes. Check out the photo.
