Your cree specs says Max Light Output (lm) 1052 lm. It doesn't say at what distance though.
You can convert lumens to PAR or PPF roughly. https://www.waveformlighting.com/hor...ine-calculator | Lumens are the total amount of light emitted by the LED, not the intensity - amount of light on a surface per square meters. So, there is no way to convert lumens to lux or PPF. You can make a crude conversion from lux to PPF (PAR units), but you really need a PAR meter to measure that actual intensity. And, that reading varies with distance from the light source. |
