It is on an Aquatic life T5 Hybrid system with 4 x T5 and 3x Ai 52HD.
12’ Above the waterline, or 35cm metric
 
How much par at those settings without the T5s?
 
What was the depth for your highest and lowest par rating? Did you check at surface?

Im trying to estimate PAR drop off with depth. A light I am thinking about buying only provides dry PAR ratings.
