I am thinking about buying the MQ-210X Original Underwater Quantum PAR Meter,I watched the BRS video and they seem to think it is a good option, they where using on T5s. When I look on the website it states “The meter is excellent for all light sources, except LEDs, where post-measurement correction factors need to be applied to achieve accurate readings”
Has anyone used this meet and know what the conversion factor is for a Kessil light?

I called the company, they didn’t recommend using it for LEDs. There is a conversion factor but it is pretty wide margin. So I ordered the MQ-510 Full Spectrum Underwater LED PAR Meter - Apogee.
If you have T5 lights it would be fine.

I think you should move this to the lighting forum - this forum is for 'experiments'. No offense. I will ask @Daniel@R2R to move it to the correct place.
