Hey everyone do you guys think JUST one Radion XR15 G5 Pro would be sufficient enough for a 40 breeder? Considering how bright it is.
 
Youd be much better off with 3 smatfarm lights for less money.
 
A 40 breeder is 36" long. The spread of an xr15 is about half of that.
 
If your going for sps you will need at least 3. 2 for lps over that footprint.

I have a 24x24x16tall and I run 2 xr15s. par ranges from low 200s around the sand bed to 400s near the surface most of my rockwork falls into 250-375 range.
