> Therefore a valid comparison is to measure it against other sources of light, and not air conditioners.
I would definitely say that this is a false statement.
> If your goal is just to "get light" then using 115* more energy than a 13W LED bulb is completely stupid.
The goal is to get artificial sunlight. A 13W LED bulb doesn't do that. An air conditioner doesn't do that either.
However, it's nice to know how much power these lights use, so we compare them to other devices which use a similar amount of power. Air conditioners and space heaters use a similar amount of power.
> If you're running an art gallery or a showroom where the quality, color, and coherence of the light makes a difference then it makes some sense.
I don't think a SkyPanel makes sense in those applications. If you are just running an art gallery or showroom, get some ordinary high-quality lighting.
