I belive it’s about 400 -600 par at 12in.
Yes. Water will only change it minimally.

is the PAR really that high, i am surprised
Yup. Made to compliment a metal halide. So it’s got to be bright.
I have an open invite to put my par and lux meter on some here. I tested dry a year or more a go.
I’d def get a dimmer and controller.
Water only cuts it a little.
400 par at the top of a shallow sps tank would be fine. Not so good for Torches. And it’s def not as powerful as a B.B.
That’s about 350+ I’d bet. You can’t all the them and ask too.
Gave them a call. He said even the most modern par meters wouldn’t tell the full story because of how it’s reflected and the spectrum blend. At the same time said it will put out par but shouldn’t worry because no point optics. If I was worried could buy the dimmer. So I like the light. It looks great and obviously gets good reviews. Guess I’m just a little disappointed they don’t post spectrum graphs or par reading - even estimates. For how $ they are I think it’s a reasonable request. That being said if anyone out there could find par at different lengths?? That b great!!
Hahaha. Geez , he’s one of those , ya can’t meter it thing. Yea , I’ll stick by my numbers I gave you before. I’ve also talked to mike at Sbreeflights , his are about the same out put.

At water line: 120
6” under: 72
12” under: 50
22” under: 40

If I have time I’ll lower my lights tomorrow and measure

Yes, I turned the middle light up to 100% for the measuring. I typically have them at 85%.
Thank you.
