ya but look in the increase in PAR the mag ballast (M80) has over the icecap electronic. the PFO is 1.5 time that amount of PAR and 1% more efficient than the icecap. Icecap puts out 1.75 PAR / watt the PFO HQI (M80) puts out 1.77 PAR / watt so for `100 more watts you are getting 200 more PAR. I will stick with the M80 for sure now that I have seen that.
