Gotta say I'm happy with 33.46g from 30w of light.
I usually run 115w (5 x 23w) CFL in this cab.
I looked over the yields from previous rounds and the overall average is 32g per run.
yes it SHOULD, this topic obviously proved that...When you read the data on these lights they only have ~ 80 lumens per watt
Real world for growing ounces should be > 150 lpw, many newest offerings have greater than 300

lumens are for humans!
Poundland has branded 6 watt warm white bulbs (SES). 10 SES base holders £10 pound on ebay. A 60 watt array for £20??? hmmm .
Can you provide examples of leds that are greater than 300lpw? I haven't seen those yetWhen you read the data on these lights they only have ~ 80 lumens per watt

Anything at or above 10w should work fine. I like 16w LEDs because they're stupid bright.
I would consider 8.5w LEDs (60w replacement) to be the minimum acceptable for growing. I used four 8.5w to replace four 23w CFLs which is slightly brighter, but hardly has the wow factor of my 16w units.
If you spaced 8.5w units close together, you could probably slam them down close to the canopy and get similar light readings as the higher wattage units, but I'd rather just buy the 10w, 12w, or 16w unit and call it a day.
