NICREW HyperReef 200 Par?

[Jaybeastin]

Anyone have any par reading for Nicrew 200 G2?

I'm thinking of replacing 3 WEAK XR15 G5 Pro on my 4 ft long tank. Getting garbage par with my XR and getting outperformed by two AI blades.

Following along. Have the same light ready to go over my new 65g. Nicrew does post some PAR measurements themselves on their website, FYI. I have heard that the Gen2's have lower PAR than Gen1 because they changed the lenses to allow for a wider spread of light, eliminating the "spotlight" effect, which lowered PAR a bit across the board but made for more even distribution of PAR, if that makes sense.

That par issue is so true i've had these lights for a year and i've adjusted the height like 10 times and it weirdly didn't make a difference to par. Right now im like 9 inches above water and 80%blue/violets 0% everything else, par im getting is like 100ish mid tank. im using the IM lagoon 20gallon btw
