Right now I'm running 51%, increasing 1% daily, out of my total output of 65% (so roughly 31% of the total power).

The power settings threw me a little bit too. I got the HO vs. HE mode, but the max power in each mode vs. the percentages in the light project was a little unclear as far as how they affected each other. I'm running mine in HE mode, 100% max power. (Which I think 100% max power in HE mode is 130W vs. 195W in HO.) In the light project, Hyper-V, blues, and blue-white are just over 80%, the others are between 20-30%, color temp ~17K. The output power shows roughly 48-49W in the project, but doesn't seem right based on the settings.
