HIGROW 50L LED grow light unboxing and test

This is the unboxing, setup and initial grow test of this light. So far it looks good. I'll post another update after I've run it a while longer. Manufacturer says average power consumption is 35 watts. I tested it and mine was averaging around 40 watts. So it seems to be pushing almost every bit of the 45 1-watt LEDS that are in it. I don't know if that will lead to shorter life, supposed to last at least 50,000 hours. The housing does get pretty hot after it's been on a while.

This doesn't include information on lumens, the accepted measure of light intensity.
I don't have any lumen info, but another user of this light shared this
PAR data with me.
 
12inch 286umol (㎡S) , 18inch 163 umol (㎡S), 24 inch 125 umol (㎡S).
 
It's quite surprising how much growth you can get out of small led panels. I have one of the unifun panels and was getting really good growth until my cats ate my plants.
