Nice setup, but... (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think that lumens are additive. IOW, you can't add the individual lumens per bulb and get a new "total" output. If you're running 6 bulbs at say 1180 lumens each, that doesn't mean that you're delivering a total of (6x1180) 7080 lumens to your plants. You're still just lighting your plants with 1180 lumens. Please please someone correct me if I'm wrong (but I think this is correct).
They do increase, just not double.My point being is if you have 26w 2700k 1750 lumen bulbs, 16 would not be 28,000 lumens.............but close
