I also run A Mars 300 watt LED and a MarII 400 watt LED. But, they use PAR value not Lumens. Good luck with that fixture and as always Happy gardening.

I wont disagree with you. Based off of info. from 1000bulbs.com, that is 2 times as powerful as the 32 watt T8s that I am currently using.
There are now HO T8s. Upwards of 50 Watt. But, the bulbs are NOT cheap.
