    I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but it's gotten a overhaul since then.

    Basically its a pretty good source for info on halide bulbs with different ballasts. It rates them in PPFD(Photosynthetic Photon Flux density), sounds space age I know but its just par over a certain area. This is one of the few places you can get par information.
    PPFD more is better usually, but it also gives you graphs of the spectrum it outputs for the hardcore reefer.;D

    Did you see his new LED data yet? We are building a homemade fixture with Cree LEDs to test the special outputs on that next :)
