Warranty Guide
For decades now, growers have been obsessed with the lumen output of their
lamps, misguidedly thinking that the more lumens, then the beer the light is for
the plant. Lumens is how we started to measure light back in the day and is a
measurement by its availability to the human eye curve and is the industry standard
way of measuring any lamp.
Plants do not even recognize what a lumen is, but instead rely on photons hing
the surface of the leaf to make them grow, these photons we call PAR
(photosynthec acve radiaon). PAR is measured in micromoles (μmol m
-2
s
-1
) and
is basically the number of photons hing a surface that are available for use by the
plant.
