LED Grams Per Watt

[Dropped Cat]

Let's say an LED store bought screw in bulb is 10W,
equivalent is 60w incandescent, so we're told.

If I harvest 90 grams of buds with 9 10W bulbs,
am I getting 1g/W, or do I need to convert 9@60W,
to 540 watts.

So is my yield 1g/watt or 0.168 g/watt?

90 grams for a yield is fine with me either way,
just curious about conversion, watts for watts.

You get 1g/watt.

Grams per watt is based on power used.

The equivalent is talking about light output. You get the equivalent light output from 10w of led that you do from 60w incadescent or 14w cfl

wow people, lay off the 'equivalent of xyz'

talk about measurable things; lumens or watts

ever heard anyone say his weed is as good as 40 thousand candles? mmh

Got it, the conversion is for consumer reference to incandescent.

A watt is a watt, lol

Lumens for people, PAR for plants.

Maybe we can start an interesting discussion on PAR/watt efficiencies.

Someone will come sooner or later and tell us we need to factor in time as well. So we get to par/watt per month efficiency..
Lots to talk about, that's what I'm trying to say.

noone has a par meter or can get his hands on any par readings from light x y z anyway, as long as you know the kelvin rating and the lumens, thats all youll ever need to know

Manufacturers could publish spectroradiometric data showing
the energy per wavelength produced by their lamps.

That would be nice.

Until then, this:
