I was hoping someone could help me figure out how many Lumens per sq ft I am putting out. I am using four 4ft Ecolux flo 40w sp41, four 4ft Ecolux flo 40w sp65, and one 250w HPS. Thanks for any help.

Whats up Nilla420. In order for someone to help you figure this out they will need the size of your grow room?
 
I have six plants in a closet that is 6ft long x 3ft wide, and floor to light bulb is 3ft. The flolros are above the plants, and the Mini Hps is on one side of the closet, I rotate the plants every time I water them. I have used a lot of Lst to keep the plants short. I just snapped some pics, but the resizer sight's server I use is down. Here are some old pics that show closet some what, and one for fun. The Hps isn't in the pics, but it is on the left of all the pics.

Lumen output is usually printed right on the bulb.
As a general rule, HPS emit 125 lumens per watt, flo's emit 75 lumens per watt.
