Hi everyone, I was wondering if the Nicrew 100 watt led was true to the output. On my Apex it’s saying that the outlet the light’s hooked up to is only drawing 30 watts. I’m just confused as to what I’m seeing.
 
how many LEDs does the unit have?
 
how many LEDs does the unit have?
It has 32 blue LEDs currently being ran at 100% There is also a white spectrum which has 16 LEDs, currently being ran at 0%. So the blue accounts for 66.6 percent of the total wattage.
 
Ok, so that where they get the “100 watt“ from. They are most likely 3 watt leds. most likely ran much lower than that. Most likely around 2 watts considering the amount of leds you state. To get the full par/wattage they state you’d have to max out All channels. Not sure what your apex will say it pulls then, but interested to see. maybe try a search because I know these are pretty popular lights?
