I think you're getting a little overly concerned about the par for the Prime. A single AI Prime (HD or Reg) can grow just about anything you want in your tank. I've looked for a few par maps but came up empty handed. I doubt anyone has taken the time to map out the PAR numbers for this light. That said, let's call in some of the LED guys.

i get you, but i just cant find any solid info. their site says peak par is 90 then others will say its like 200

Mounting height and color settings can all potentially impact the PAR numbers quite a bit giving you an apples to oranges comparison....so you have to pay attention to those details between comparisons.

For example, AI provides measurements in air if I remember correctly. When you're comparing those measurements with someone on the internet who measured in water, that's yet another big factor.
