Off the shelf retail store screw-in LED and CFL bulb comparisons

[Mr. Sparkle]

if i make a car with 3 wheels, its still a car.

technically a lot of the three wheel "cars" that were made were actually classified as motorcycles and or used motor cycle parts to get around insurance laws and such , only recently we now have 3 wheeled motorcycles but are classified as cars to get around having to have a motorcycle licences but its still a motorcycle

if you make a new kind of bulb where you slam the led material 360 around a metal wire, led is still the same tech

if i make a car with 3 wheels, its still a car.

Directed (an angle shallower than 360 degrees) as opposed to omnidirectional (360 degrees on a 2D plane)

And car depends on the legal definition.

Awesome plants terpene im sure they will be tasty, my new Build "The Bucket" is pretty much done just needs a few tweaks but ill be running right around 28-30watts/sqft and hopefully will be putting out some tasty buds like yours soon.

These little bulbs rule ad work well even without the typical scrog/ extra even canopy set up. I just hung them in the tent. She was trained though...

Cheers,

Hm wondering how much watts could a plant handle max?
would be 5000w of screw in leds too much /like light burn too much or destroying/burning to dust too much?/.
Is there any limit in wattage if yes what is max? /like 20000w or much more?/
What about 50000watts from leds? ofc cooled to 20C room temp would love to test this
How many watts sun pulls out?

e: found article about sun light wattage: sources indicate an "Average over the entire earth" of "164 Watts per square meter over a 24 hour day".[2]

sun pulls out 98 000 lux (lumens per square meter)
looks like a lot lol.

this looks intresting too:

I had a stoned thought about outfitting my 5x5 tent with a grid of sockets with a three headed lamp mounted to a piece of square aluminium or wood or steel simpsion strong tie steel plates (think grounding lug for the third wire for safety) with a tri-band of bulb colors every square foot (think one per plant ) in three customiziable color temps and wattage options for varying penetration 2.5 , 3 and 5K temps on a 1 ft square grid with 9 or 16 individually vertically/horizontally adjustable points of light. either 3x3 like the tray or 4x4 like the plant canopy and plant count no more than 16 plant canopy 16 points 16x39 =624 or 9 x 30W = 270 W or 9 x 45 = 405 W or some where in the 300-600W range using the following items 6/7 of the items found thru home de Pot

Bushy, 10 days of 12/12. Not much stretch happening really.Cant remember strains as the labels fell off, oops. Plant on the far right was started 2 weeks after the other 2, hence the small size.
