please keep in mind the lumens are diffrent the further you get from the plant if the bulb put out 55000 lumens that is right on the bulb not 3 feeet away and that is only inital lumens HID HPS MH all loose lumens faster then CFLS so lumens per watt decrease they sell them on the mean lumens not the running lumens so when you bought your set up it may have said 55000 lumens but most HPS burn off there inital lumens in the first 250 - 750 hours that is only one flowering cycle just keep that in mind when you giv numbers my numbers come from a light meter in lumens
