Kessil LEDs, Intensity and PAR

I've only been into reefing for the past year and have graduated from Current Loop light strips to Kessils after about two months. The Kessils were obvioulsy far superior and my corals took off. I've upgraded tanks from my 38 bowfront to a Waterbox FRAG 105 and put Kessil A360 lights on that. While I've never used anything else, the lights are great, the corals seem happy (or at least growing and colorful). They couldn't be simpler to use and are highly effective - how an you beat that? (Well, make them cheaper...)
If anyone is interested, (@Dana Riddle) I took a series of PAR readings on my 38 gallon bowfront. I'm running two Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue lights. Readings were taken at 50% color and 100% intensity. The tank is also full of rockwork, has an overflow box, and a 2" reinforcing strut along the top of the tank running front to back.
All in all, pretty good numbers - I'm pleased. I can definitely grow SPS in here.
Thank you for taking your time on this. It's exactly what I was looking for, and gave me a better idea of where I'm at on my shallow 24X24X12 30gal tank.
Thank you, thank you!
And yes! Like previously stated. FINALLY some real A160WE results, you don't know how hard it is to find anything on this lights regarding par.
