LEDgardener

I just built the first out of 6 lights I am setting up. I’m running 10x H influx 2ft L06 lights in series powered by HLG-320H-C1400B. I will be making 6 of these in total but for now I just built one to test. I elimated the dimmer with waygos for now.

I started her up with no problem. I used the “Light Meter” app and it says 11,000 lux when I position the camera 18 inches away. What does that calculate to in Lumens???? I should be at about 56k-57k lumens per fixture according to Samsung’s calculator.

I also put it on a killawat and it’s running 343watts but it says 2.80 amps. It’s a 1400 driver. I don’t get why it would say 2.8 amps at the wall.

Sorry for all the newb questions. These is my first DIY LED builds.

Light meter app is now saying that 3 feet away.
Heat sinks are warm. I’m very confused to as why this driver (1400) is reading 2800 at the Wall with killawatt

1400 is what it puts out, 2800 is what it's taking in. Your driver delivers roughly 320 watts of power, power is voltage x amperage. Your voltage should be around 110 at the wall, multiply that times the 2.8 amps and you get about 320.

1 lux = 1 lumen/meter^2

You're confusing DC and AC amps. Drivers take W amps at X volts on the AC side and converts it to Y amps and Z volts on the DC side.
