 Solar Oasis LED based grow lights produce
only light that plants can use for growth, health,
smell, and taste.  Currently the best light
measurement for our LED grow lights is the
microEinstein commonly written as uMols of
energy.  However, this measurement must also
be weighted by wavelength in the PAR spectrum
based on published plant absorption curves
before a true comparison between traditional and
LED based grow lights can be made.

    Measuring equipment corrections must be
made when measuring LED based grow lights.  
The quantum sensors commonly used to
measure light output, such as the Li-Cor and
Skye product lines are known to be very
inaccurate at measuring light output from artificial
light sources, and have even greater errors when
measuring light output from LED arrays (See
Accuracy of quantum sensors measuring yield
photon flux and photosynthetic photon flux.
