Has anyone tested the Reef Brite XHO blue led strips to see how much par they produce?
I'm curious if it can be compared to a T5 bulb.

Some good info in here for you
Reefbrite xho blue par
Hoping someone could provide par readings 1 xho blue strip. Have a 12” tank. Curious how much par that is going to add. It’s maybe 4” off the water

Thanks @Leadfooted .

Took me by surprise too. Personally I’m glad, I’m adding two more to prevent some shading on larger colonies. I don’t really want more par just more coverage from angles.

A guy I know on a local FB group posted this when I asked him about par and his XHO fixture.
"I did a par test with just the XHO. Keep in mind I only have one.
Par reading from light to sand bed was 50. 12” up was at 90-100. At the top of the water. 150-170
1” from the light 500-550.
The light is 17” up off the water as well. "
