Actual wattage draw from 4 different LED's

Just noticed that my A51 XGS-190 pulls 230 watts when all the 6 diodes/cluster are on, 180 when 4 are going and 120 when only 2 are on and the rest is off. Weird... This is probably the only light that draws more than announced LOL. Not complaining.

The Hans panel pulled more.
86 watts instead of 80 is 7.5% more... Its more than announced but not that much.
20% more (for the A51, 230 instead of 190) is quite unusual. If the light Im selling was pulling 230 watts I sure wouldnt advertise it as a 190...

Anyone else noticed this? Am I the only owner of a XGS 190 on steroids?

Yes that seems unusual. I was surprised by that joyhydrogrow 240w, it is only running a little more than 1/3 power and it all works still.

The website says 190W actual power draw. So maybe what they meant was 190 dissipation? If so, 230W includes the driver losses and fan power consumption. So 230 * .85 = 195W. So the actual LED dissipation is about 190 Watts. That is a very helpful number when comparing against HPS because a 600 HPS dissipates 600W but consumes 660W for example.

I thought captainmorgan said his A51 XGA190 draws 195W though?
