90W UFO input current

[rope]

Hi guys, I just bought a 90W UFO light. I'm not looking for flaming here. Anyways, I was just wondering what other peoples UFOs input currents are. This one I got was 0.25A, or 250mA.
I heard and read some have .35A and .45A
I was just wondering if i got the knockoff shitty one and if the others are better. I know there are lots of UFOs and knockoffs on the market, just wondering which ones are around and what you got. Peace, look forward to hearing from you.

250ma X 120V is about 30 watts!
Dang!
I'll go measure mine.
OK!
I have a UFO knock-off that consumes 650ma.
That's still only 71 Watts at my line voltage.
Cost me $220 USD
So I guess there are different levels of rip-off.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Aloha,

so if somethings 2.36A on a 240v line, how many watts is that using?
Following that sum backwards gets my 400w hps using a lot more than 400w.

Well, that sucks! 30 watts eh? What formula did you use to calculate it just out of curiosity. So If i wanted to use the LEDs at their full potential, I would have to change out the driver to say... a 650mA driver or something?
