    My radion pro covers my 36x24x18 very well! That's with stock lenses to and the light is about 70 percent intensity, The spread on them are amazing! As well as everything else about them besides there price lol, But there totally worth it.

    Was that question for me? If so no I haven't and don't think I'll be able to get past 70 percent on my tank since it's shallow and radion pros are so powerful, And it's acro dominated.

    I have checked the PAR, on the chinese full spec dimmable LED's I"m currently using- off the chart!

    Matt, you have seen mine, the two more powerful ones (I have 3 witrh the same bulb colors/arrangement), cam from an Amazon Gift Card- Thanks Sis!

    And, when they add 165W, you did see this disclaimer from you OP add?

    'What is the Difference Between Rated Power & Actual Power
    Please note that although the capacity of our LED chips are rated at 3W, the 485-525mA current consumes about 2.2W. This produces an actual power total of approximately 120W versus the 165W capacity. By not maxing out the capacity of the LEDs, this ensures the longevity of the product.'

    They're still about 120W's- WHEN they're turned up all the way! Mine aren't nearly full.

    My sps are exploding- in growth and color that is! These have the 90degree lenses.

    I'm too lazy to go back to my thread on them and get the Amazon link I used, usually something like 120W dimmable LED on their search does it.
    MIne were aobut $132 shipped each- a few months later- the price nealry doubled- another poster emailed them and they said it was supply and demand price increase!

    Good luck, I love mine. With the PAR meter at my lasyt Party- I thought you were at, these things were monsters- per Spaz and Tom!

    I was just curious about PAR number in general. I have two reefbreeders on my 65 is why. I took values a while ago with the glass covers on so they reflect how I run it. I have posted this somewhere before, but will again.

    just like what OFK said...

    basically, I have 2 led pendants hanging over my tank. Pendant is just the term that is in the industry when you talk about lights that hang.
