Led question about canopy coverage

Oh I see. So how close to the canopy can they get? What's the heat output? And lumen output? Plz

Super close. I've gotten within 5 or 6" without issues. Heat output is non existent, these things don't even get warm to the touch. Not sure about lumen output, the guys at NextLight told me when I got them but I forgot; I want to say like 140 lumens/watt. Best bet is to call them up and ask these questions. My experiences dealing with them has been exceptional. Good luck finding what works best for your needs

Awesome thx. Well i did my math an research and i think that the best thing for me considering I'm broke is to drop a hundo on a couple packages of a19. I found some Philips 8 packs at home depot for roughly $50 each. Not too bad. 100w equivalent. They have them in 5K and 27K. Thx for all the help guys.
 
Hi again everyone. Quick question. Is 180w of a19 Led 15w 100w equivalent enough to flower 6 plants in a 3x2 space? And also at what distance should I keep the lights? Thx in advance :)
 
Idk I read somewhere that 30w per square foot is the minimum but I just don't feel like that's enough. Bumpity bump bump...

You'd get decent growth. I'd use more like 20-24 though if it were me. Haha. But at that point, throw a few cobs in there and kick ass.
