yup, if you do monthly measurs of the bulbs you could tell how fast the intensity is droping off and chang acordingly.

it is a QUANTUM SENSOR (Model QSO-ELEC)

I got it from Apogee in the US for about 100 US plus shipping and duity and all that junk. then you also need a good digital multi meter to use it so that cost me another 150 CDN. I have spent more on testing equipment for lights than I have on my lights themselves

if you want to read more about it here it is

maby you might get 10 Cowtown naitives to go in one it and then check everyones tanks.
