This is using the luxon led's.
It claims to make the equivalent of 20watts of light. This gives us a frame of reference to what they think of as 17 watts if nothing else.

Seems to require 3 watts for those 135 lumens.

LED stilll cannot produce lighting with good coloration. And at that cost, I think it is better to focus on high CRI MH or T5.
Generally, those lgihting with higher CRI usually has lower lumens output, eg osram T5 54W 865 (CRI 80 series, 6500K)is around 4800 lumens, whilst T5 54W 965 (CRI 90, 6500 K) is about 3500 lumens.
Of course the CRI 90 T5 is not easily available here, & one may need to order from abroad.
