Hi ,

Am trying to get some info around PAR valies of Illumagic Blaze fixtures . Surprisingly they claim to have pretty high UV in the 400-410 nm range but wondering about the PAR values and the spread of the fixture.

Regards,
Abhishek

I have two Blaze X Minis as supplemental light. I have been meaning to get PAR readings for my peak period. Remind me tomorrow to get that done via PM and I'll post up.

Thank you ! Being led handicapped and always in the world of halides and T5s, its difficult for me to predict if 1 5 foot Illumagic blaze will light up a 5 feet x 24 inch x 12 inch tank . Mounting height is not a problem as I can mount it as high as necessary for the coverage .

Regards,
Abhishek

@Abhishek contact Luis Rosa through the thread below. He will respond. He's running the fixture in the video below.

I don't have any luck getting him to respond anymore. I think he got overwhelmed after that reefbuilder video came out and just has too many questions from people to answer. Worth a shot though.

@Abhishek we have a 5' blaze-x over our small frag tank.

my brother and i measured 650 - 700 max par, with the fixture 14" above water line. this is with all 3 channels set to max. about 21,000 lumens.

with only blues and UV overdriven to 140%, it's shockingly still almost 500 par.

I have 2 of the blaze x 90’s on a 36” x 36” x 20” lagoon tank. I am waiting for my turn with a par meter. When I get it I will post some numbers. Those numbers seem pretty high. I don’t ever run whites at max. The uv seems to be the magic in illumagic.
