For every watt our sun puts out, it produces 93 lumens of visible light

167.400 = 1800 x 93

Can’t beat the Sun when it comes to how it moves around your outdoor plants. You can mimic that, with light rails on auto. That’s about it.

225158 lux converted to ppfd is over 4000 umol aka the number of photons hitting the canopy where measured (not the same as kwh/m2). The sun doesn’t put out even close to that amount anywhere on earth. All I was saying was to take those phone meters with a grain of salt because they tend to not be accurate.
