Got a Kill-A-Watt meter. Let's see how these different lights pull from the wall.
Roleandro HYG08-2*200w "400 watt" (2 COBs)
View attachment 20887
This is the most recent light we got used. Not bad for 2 cheap COBs.
Viparspectra 600 Reflector Series "600 watt"
View attachment 20889
Veg switch on (Blue/White)
View attachment 20890
Bloom switch on (Red/White)
View attachment 20891
Veg & Bloom switches on (Red/White/Blue)
We have two of these and they're within 1 watt of each other.
Viparspectra PAR600 series "600 watt"
View attachment 20892
Red switch on
View attachment 20893
White switch on
View attachment 20894
Blue switch on
View attachment 20895
All 3 switches on (Red/White/Blue)
We have two of these too. They seem to be brighter and more intense. The coverage is more narrow than the Reflector series. They're much heavier both in duty and weight (13.7 lbs vs. 12.5 lbs).
