Del, did you ever test your Iwasaki 250s with the PAR meter? I'm doing some research to replace my stock lights (they are 10K Currents USA). I want to get new 15K lights and came accross the Iwasaki 250s.

Crabs, I was at your place to pick up a frag of the green stylo a few weeks ago. He's doing great! I would love to borrow your PAR meter if you wouldn't mind. I don't live too far from you, I could pick it up sometime and return it to you when done.

Actually, this thread gave me a great idea. I'm sure tonnes of canreefers are using different lights that don't have reported PAR results. It would be cool if everyone had a chance to test their lights with the PAR meter and then report back to the forum with their results. Type of light, age, PAR value, etc. Anyway, just thinking out loud.

Don't forget Kien, ballasts also affect PAR readings. It's not just the lamps that matter.
