Pulse Start Bulb Lumen Output?

hyphae · Jan 19, 2012

I can't seem to find the lumen outputs for any wattage of the pulse start bulbs with my typical online vendors. Anyone have a rough figure on the lumen outputs for these bulbs?

Www.sunpulselamps.com

Check their tech sheet.

They don't really put lumens for their lamps. They use PAR and Nm

I tried 6 - 1000 watt pulse starts in the 6.4 color for my veg room. They lost 40% of their lumens in just a few months I woulkd not recommend them.

Wow, fuck that then.....

How could you really quantifiy nm and par into lumens though?

Lumens is only how WE measure light.

Nm is how scientists measure it for plants.

I have found out for you though that the 600w version puts out 74,000 lumens.

I appreciate your input, wow 74k that's kind of shitty.

According to their info regardless of the lumens there is supposed to be more usable light from these lamps than regular HPS.
