Just havent seen too much data on these specific units and they do seem to have pretty good value
 
No testing but have 2 on my IM SR80 which is 47" long. For the the cost including a mount they are a great value. I have a RS 625xxl with 2 Radion xr15s with reefbrite add ONS as well. Corals do well in both. The syna G app runs good for me. Never any issues with programming. I'm running mixed reefs in both tanks with acros in both tanks. As far as growth I can say I noticed a difference in growth and color alot in the last month switching from current IC pros on the 80. I'm currently setting up a frag tank with an IM 25 lagoon and just purchased another Jump for it. In my mind I just can't justify spending another $600 for a single radion. I just can't justify buying a bunch of lights and only using them at 50% or so anymore.
 
honest review, any par measurements?
 
No par measurements. I've got the radion dialed in at 60% and the reef brite add ONS at 100%. Growing acros good. I used my NASA calibrated eyeball and tried to match the same in the 80. I'm running those at 85% on the blue channels and UV and the white red and green channels at 10% and it looks pretty good. I had them at 90% and noticed some bleaching on a few things. Turned them down a bit and everything is going strong. I have acros lots of high end zoas which have taken off since switching the lights a month ago shrooms lps. Goni's lobos, hammers,Symphilia pretty much everything and it's all doing well.
 
App has been nothing but trouble for me. I don't have par numbers other than I set it at 75 par at the bottom of my frag tank. Blue at 45%, white a 15%. Par drops off dramatically as you move from under the light.

Interesting, what would you say the usable light footprint would be? 18" wide x 18" long by 18" high for say an sps tank or what would you think?
 
maybe 16"x16"
 
There’s one review on YouTube by reefdudes I believe.
 
I saw it before but there really isnt much information for each unit (blue and regular) for actually footprint and par values which is a bit disappointing
