potlike Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2007 #2 well skam let's do some math 20x12=240 sq ft 5000 min lumens per sq ft = 5000x240=1200000 lumens go with solarmax 1000w bulbs at 147000 lumens per bulb 1200000/147000= 8-9 super hps systems to grow optimally: 8000 lumens per sq ft = 8000x240=1920000 lumens 1920000/147000=13-14 super hps systems -pot
