Maybe that's how they get the PAR up without optics; by using so many more LEDS. But they probably could have accomplished the same thing using fewer LEDS spaced more evenly with optics thus using less energy and keeping the cost down a bit.

Personally I would wait to see some independent reviews and PAR measurements before spending that sort of money on this fixture.
I wonder if they are alternating the angles of the LEDs so the first one shines back, the next one center then next one front ect.. this will give them a sleaker look, alows the use of optics but still maintain PAR on the edges good. this is actualy how I was going to do mine.. guess I can't do it that way if some one is already doing it, got to think up something different again now
