I used to have a fleet of Mars and other "___w equivalent" LEDs. I bought a Kill A Watt electricity usage monitor to how accurate the rates were. They were wildly different, and it seemed like the higher the rating the less actual watts they were using. I will say that the Mars was closer to the rating than any of the others, but like the other was still no where near what it was supposed to be. Then about a year later I tested new Spectrum Kings, and they were pretty much dead on.

And I mean "wildly different" as in the exact same lights that I bought at the exact same time where way off from each other.

Have you been drinking the water from Flint by any chance?

This is true. These old shitty lights are equivalent rated.

Hey Johnny, go back and re read guy. Try to retain what was said instead of trying to push your point.

Mars lists the actual watts used(300) on their website and the HID equivalency(500).

I feel like Donnie and I'm waiting for someone to tell me to STFU.

You fail to make a point. The lights are 300 watts. You tried to claim that they are 100. Wasn't that what your "math" was based on a few pages back?

Oh, my bad. I thought you were talking the equivalency. Which would probably close to 100 true watts.

No moron. My point was that they use 1/4 the power a 400 watt hid does. But if retained what you read you woulda got that.

This again. Lmao. Cmon, I’m sure your not done yet. Go back and read it three times. Maybe if you get your keeper to read it to u.

1/4 less power than 400w

That would mean that they are 100 watt lights. They're not. We're multiple pages into this and you still seem to be having trouble understanding this.
Again, a TSL 2000 consumes 300 watts of power, meaning it uses 3/4 of the power your old HIDs did. it's a 25% reduction in power. A 100 watt smd led wouldn't even be close to an HID 400 in terms of output. The HLG 135 is the closest thing I can think of that actually would.
