Par is definitely not as listed online. They way understate the par on these. I bought a couple of 100w ones to add some more light to ends of my tank, as my radions weren't giving me quite enough coverage. I run the radions at 85 % on the ab plus program and I had to turn the nicrew lights down a lot to get them to blend into my light spread. I also run one one a refugium, and they give great colour for the price. Would be very interested to see some real par readings on these lights.

Yes I would be interested as well. Color and brightness does not equal PAR.

Yes this is true...but the radions are producing more than 120 par for sure ( just going by brstv test results) and these have to be turn down a lot to match the radions at 85% would love to get my hands on a par meter, if anyone in the Hamilton area has one to lend out I would be grateful.
