16k lumens HPS vs. CFL

[Mr. Limpet]

I wanted to know if there was anymore information like this for lights exceeding 150W. 400W to be specific....

in jorge cervantes book he list graphs like this for higher wattages

Nice mapping - makes me wonder, is it practical to use similar mapping techniques in order to design a canopy shape(ala stadium scrog) tailored to individual light fixtures/grow areas?

Great info in this thread +rep. But an idea i had with your set up is to switch up the cfl's you said you have 3 warm & 3 cool why dont you split the six up like this WCW or CWC. are you following? I dont know what impact if any this would have but it would be interesting. Also I like your row box is there any way you could give a tutorial on how to make one of those bad boys?

I could see how that would help maximize light usage for sure.

How would one go about generating plots like that? Well more specifically, gathering the data points... or was that done manually, moving the light meter to specific spots and recording all over?
