Hi Steve,
You are certainly getting a hell of a lot of light - much more than on the article I posted above. Are you overdriving it? You are getting more light than Mike Kirda measured with 2x400w Ushio bulbs.

Your readings at 6" are similar to calculated ocean values at 5 - 8 m depth near the equator, and your 24" readings are in the range of 9-15 m. Pretty decent.

My 24" readings are less than the light at 20 m.

The meter is a Quantum QMSS.
