I know from reading this site that Dana Riddle periodically reviews different light fixtures, and creates an in depth analysis. Where can I find these reviews? I'm interested in comparing a few different lights, and I'm sure I'd find Dana's analysis very helpful!
 
Use the search function. Just type in the name of the fixture that your interested in and threads should pop up in results. Look for Dana's threads.
 
You can enter a members name and a keyword in the same search (theres a member name search bar and thread name search bar) that way you don't have to filter though a bunch if threads
 
Yes, I've tried that. I know how to do a search. No luck. For example, I'm looking at the Reefi lights. If I search for "Reefi" posts by Dana Riddle, I can find a thread on that. After going through all 7 pages of that thread, there is no review. There's another possible thread, but that's 27 pages. I looked through most of that and didn't find the review. But I know it exists, because Reefi has the review posted on their site. So I'm all set with that review, but there are a few more lights I'd like to compare to the Reefi.
 
Thanks, but as I said I already have that one. It’s posted on Reefis site. I’m also looking for the Radion, Coralcare, and Neptune sky reviews. If someone wants to give me the links to those I’d really appreciate it. But that seems like too much to ask. I’m really just looking for a place to find the reviews. Are they not linked to from somewhere on the site? If they’re buried deep in some many pages threads, that makes it hard to find the reviews. But even paging through many threads, I still don’t see them.

Thanks, but as I said (twice), I already found the Reefi review on Reefi's site. Not looking for that. My point was that I don't see how to find it on this site (reef2reef).

Not looking for the Orphek review.

Yes, and as I said, I found that thread as well. But unless I'm blind (possible), the actual review isn't in that thread.
 
it worked with neptune sky as well, im gonna post a pic just to give a little into to the search bar here (it is a bit tricky)

Ok, yes, that's more like it. The Neptune review is indeed in the articles section, where you'd expect to find the light reviews. But others (such as Reefi), are not in the articles section, even though they exist. It seems like the oversight is that not all light reviews have been put in the articles section. Or even in the thread discussing the review.

he discusses the power and specs of the light in his posts in that thread, just not an article, (though im not sure if he wrote one yet, let me search a sec)

Oh my word. I guess you’re not reading the other posts in this thread? There is an article. It’s linked to on Reefi’s site. The point is that it doesn’t appear to be on this site. Same with other articles.

lol, you would have to post the links to threads for anyone to actually know what thread you were talking about. He actually does discuss the led light through the thread i posted as do many others with their own led % values and par values
