Luxe Meter? Hps? Led?

  1. So I just switched out my king led, think it was reading out at 250 watts a little less maybe but this 600 watt hps I’m swinging to should blow this led out of the water so why when I use this lux meter on my phone the led measures in at around 2500 and my hps measures at only 500 this makes no sense I made sure to get the best bulb possible from eye hortilux is it the stupid phone app or is there something I’m not understanding?

  2. Probably the app or alot of meters only read 3 digits ×100 so 500 would be 50000 lux
     
  3. Are you it caps it self 10 k I think I think I read that but it does go up to 5000 I saw it?

  6. spectrum. Unless you have a quantum meter these meters are tuned to specific wavelengths for cost savings and meant to measure lux of white light and not grow lights.
