Observation and details:
- Since I know the K40vn is about 400K lux at the hot spot, I used the measured lux number from my cheap meter and divided it by my meter reading at 20 feet to get a ratio of 3.1496
- I take meter readings for all the other lights hot spot at 20 feet and multiply it by my conversion ratio of 3.1496 for the Estimated Lux number.

All the Estimated lux numbers seems right on:
SR90 was measured by others to be around 110-130K Lux. Mine is 128K
Eye40vn was measured by Kengps to be 99K lux with is similar to my 100K
TK75vn was measured around 250-280K lux by someone here but I forgot who which is close to my 276K
ShockerVN seems to be identical to K40vn to my eyes in real life so the 423K seems legit
The XM18vn hot spot does appear to be as bright as two k40vn hot spot over each other to my eyes so 879K seems appropriate as well. 🙂


Cheers!!

I cant afford it. I am still raising money for my next two big project.

When I turn on the light after the mod I almost I was that emotional with the results. 🙂
