Can anyone provide guide lines when using AI signature light profiles? If the profile you decide to use is based on a Hydra 26 light and you are using a Prime HD would you increase the output of each spectrum in direct proportion to the wattage output of the two lights or not. For example if profile you want to use is a 90 watt max output running at 30% and the light you are using is a 45 watt light would you double your lights’ output to obtain the same light PAR as the original light produced or would you use the same output percentage on the lower power light as the higher power light? Make sense?
 
No, even with same lights of same manufacturing lots there are some differences, i understand your aproach, but it doesn´t work that way in MHO. A PAR meter is the way to go for real world application and no manufacturer theoric numbers, if you can rent or borrow one will put you in the ball park. I use a cheap Seneye that provides a spectrum curve too that helps dialing the lights in a breeze!
