I have to disagree with you , I own 3 hydra 26hd now and I have checked them with my par meter . At the bot of my current tank I get around 120 mid tank 280 and top of rock 650 . My current tank is 24” deep and the light are 12” of the top of the water , so you saying there a poor choice is not accurate. I have had a set of the G3pros with them first came out and I didn’t like them at all went back to halides . I think the hydra is a better light and very happy with my choice.
My intent was not to say that the lights are bad in any way, but they are however a poor choice to try and compare to a 250MH. They will not provide a spread and or PAR that of a 250MH. That's it. YOu can not put 3 of those fixtures over top of a 72" long aquarium and expect them to perform like a 250watt MH. That's what I"m saying. They are good lights, just a poor choice in the context in which they were referred too. Hope that helps and Im not trying to insult the lights what so ever. I actually like them for certain applications.
