LEDs light intensity

Hi guys,

I have 4 x 600w (output) LED lights in a little over 2 square meters space. I checked the light intensity with a lux meter and the readings are a little over 100.000 lux a few cm from the lights and around 23.000 lux at current plant level. Plants are currently vegging.

Is this a good amount of light?

Heh lux readings...just look at the plants,if there isnt alot of crazy stretching in veg and growth rate is good then its probably fine.If your leaves are curling up its too much intensity or heat.Lux readings will only go so far look to your plants for cues on what they need.Hope that helps.
