Oh don't get me wrong they will absolutely grow... im strictly talking that thier math cannot possibly be accurate and is likely a fair bit exaggerated especially on the efficacy. I believe they use a formula to calculate and do not aquire third party testing.@Aqua Man , I think this is the first time you and I have disagreed. Optic is legit.
I got a pair of 8+ over my 4x8 nicely cooking the tops of 6 plants. I also have an Apogee PAR/PPFD/FAR RED sensor here in my hot little hands if you want to mess around.

The ppfd in a sphere test. Unfortunately not really a home option.I'll be your third party. Whatcha wanna know? I can take a video of the measurements and post it.
I am 60Hz 114VAC at the wall. I can measure any form of light (including spectrum) that you like.
No no bro... absolutely agree these discussions help everyone.BTW - Not trying to prove anything right or wrong, it's just data to me. Measurable things are easy and takes away a lot of debate.
Geeks are awesomeTell you what H2Ombre, I'm a few weeks away from harvest in that tent. Right now would be a bad time to do a PPFD map. I just harvested the HID tent. That has 1000 + 600 + 600 with good bulbs. I'll take a video of that tent before it gets full again and then one of the LED tent when it is harvested. I'll compare the 2 and get back to you in a month or so.
I am not married to buying more Optics for the HID retirement. If there is a better light out there, I'd be interested. I might even be able to do some stealth testing at local grow shops to compare models to listed stats. Yes, I am a geek.
To me though it creates a distrust and if they are using a formula to falsely report the efficacy based on math instead of actuality then I question other things.
This is very common among the Chinese light markets who I won't name but ita not new that this is done.

Nonsmoker, my little sidetrack was answering a different question than what you asked. Hijack over.
After looking closely at Aqua mans posts, I confirm the Diablo has both a dumb name and a much better chance of being the superior light.

Who would name a light after a Mexican fighting chicken?
google:: What the hell is a sphere test?
