So I’m getting back into the hobby after a 12 year break. In the past I did all 400w MH so LED’s are new to me.
I currently have 2 Hydra 52’s over a 425xl in trying to understand the light output better I rented a PAR meter (MQ 500) from my LFS and I was kinda surprised at the readings so I’m looking for some feed back.
To sum up my questions - I’m getting a reading of about 280 20 inches from the LED’s - I though it would have been higher based on my settings but I’m new to LED’s so maybe this is what is expected? Below are the settings I got the PAR value I mentioned above - I thought it would have been much higher but maybe the distance from the light is the issue?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
