The Lumenbrights are the best I have used, but find they need more height, {16in. to the water}, which is what they are designed to do. Thus running cooler and still packing great par.
I loved the glass shield. Height plus glass shield, equals no salt splash on that expensive reflector material.
If height is at a surplus and good spread is something you need, then I agree with the Lumenarc,s. Good bang for the money. Good pendants, good spread. Run closer to the water, although we had ours at close to 15in and still ok.
And if one wishes to protect them at lower heights, you can purchase a glass shield for the slots already on them. I just bought 5m tempered from the local glass store.
I currently run Lumenmax and its very impressive but its an HQI set up.
