I could say higher lumens but the light is raised higher to compensate for that. Hard to tease the causes apart, they would be colder because less heat from the lights, spectrum at 4000 K is different, add water to that.. etc.  |
Im just guessing that the wave length is incorrect. Im thinking that to get in LEDs, you have to bite the bullet and spend the moolah to get the real deal.
