I'm not trying to start debate, but adding all the lumens to get a grand total for the area is somewhat inaccurate. Reasons why i believe this is because CFLs have little penetration over a far distance therefore losing it's lumen output...accurate? IMO it's more accurate to say that there is xxx amount of lumens in this given area--another reason why it is spread throughout the plant.
I know this maybe no big thing, but for new people using cfls they may not understand that having 10cfls on the canopy is different from having an hps/mh lighting on the canopy.
Hope this makes sense--i'm sill a lil baked from pre-work session.
stay irie,
