LumenAqua 200/300

[finind]

the power rating says 7.5W and 12W for model 200 & 300 respectively .. is that referring to power consumption?

but its power output is equal to say, how many T5?

e.g. the JBJ nano cube 28G LED hood is 89W (25 x 3W LED + 4 moonlight LED) and is claim to be close to a 150W metal halide

so model 200 has 7 x 3W, that is roughly close to how many T5 or metal halide

hope expert can advise.

Thanks

The comparison of the light is usually measure against the lumen or PAR output of the light . You can find the PAR reading by using a PAR meter , or comparing with what the manufacturer said about their lighting.

The wattage mean the power consumption of the equipments so lesser the watt = lesser power consumption = saving $$ .. The lumen over Watt comparison show the efficiency of various type of lighting.
