Overdriving lights.
Ok I bought a new multimeter (my old one was a joke and wouldent do curent.) and I found a light meter for 30.00 it measures foot-candles but there should be a conversion to lumin somewhare I just have to find it. we tested a 96watt PC quad light (smart light) and it put out 1300 foot-candles at a distance of 12" on a ice cap lit 4X 110 watt bulbs the result was 750 to 800 foot-candles at a distance of 12" so it will be interesting to see what my over driving project does in both power and light output . this I will do tomorrow morning
