if the LEDs were driven at their rated wattage they would burnout much, much sooner, so they are driven at 50-70% of their rating.

and for the most part retailers/manufacturers all rate their arrays this way.

there are exceptions to the rule, like lumigrow.

some are honest and list the true draw on the units on their websites...

hope this helps...

Cant remember harvest weight, but it was not nearly what it could and should have been. The problem that I ran into was keeping the temps warm enough with only the L.E.D. running. Daytime temps would get up to about 63f, and the plants were stunted from the cold. From a deathstar I had under it in a 7gal pot, I yielded about 6.25oz.

I have since moved the LED to a room with 4k hps bulbs, and it has been working great.
