What is a hid light output?
LIGHT OUTPUT could also refer to the amount of light emitted from a certain source. For example, a brand new HID light bulb will put out a certain number of "lumens" or "Lux", which are two standard measures of light. As the bulb ages, it will slowly start to put out less and less lumens, thus making the light slightly dimmer
. Apps can be downloaded to any android cell phone that use the phones photo-sensor to measure light output so you can test the output of your bulbs and compare them to specs or other light sources. Some professional growers will change out their bulbs after every crop.
Bigger is best for yield
