For plant growth there is an optimal amount of exposure to lumens that will result in the healthy plants you’re looking for, and that’s really our main concern. You want to make sure that your LED lights give off enough lumens to spark the photosynthesis process to ensure that your plants have a healthy growth cycle and produce crops at the end of that cycle that you can either sell or use for your family. read more

For humans, lumens per watt is a good measure of the efficiency of a lamp in meeting human ability to see, because it is based on the relative sensitivity of our eyes (the red curve at right). read more
