Ocean Revive T-247 Par Measurements

[PirateMonkeyReefer]

Inspired by BRS's Par measurements I went ahead and did my best to replicate it in my 40g breeder for the other Ocean Revive T-247 owners. I know its not as perfect as a 24x24 inch tank but I tried to do my best to provide some good info as I've had a hard time finding other real results/measurements.

Below are the measurements at 6, 12", and 17" Measurements were taken with an Apogee MQ-510 with the Blue lights at 100 percent. The Fixture is hung about 12 inches off the water. If you want to know what the par would be with the whites at 100 percent then I would just double the numbers. There's definitely a bit of a hotspot in the center where the lights start overlapping. I'm taking this as a plus as it will let me keep SPS in the Center and LPS and soft corals around the edges. Im sure as well if you added multiple fixtures it would even out the hotspots.

Cheers!

What were the whites at in these pictures?

These are just the measurements with the blues from the LED Fixture. The whites were essentially double the whites.

Ah ok, What are the dimensions of each of the boxes? Also thank you for posting this!

It’s a standard 40 Breeder so 36X18X17 inches. Glad it’s helpful!

Great info thank you! I was looking at getting one of these lights for my 20gal AIO build. Is this a single light?

Edit: all in all, how do you like the light?

 

[PirateMonkeyReefer]

Yes, this is a single light with just the blues on. 1 is more than enough for any tank 36" and under in length.

So far I really do like the light. its got a built-in clock so it turns out the blues and whites independently and its got great par for the price IMO. They're no Radions but they're enough to get you up and running!

I have 2 and they do a great job. My only complaint is that I wish it had more dominant actinic to get that coral pop (but I am colorblind so everything is more dull to me lol).
