![]() kinda my case and point - the first thing I would have done was test the par values even before attaching it to a lumenarc reflector or declaring it a new technology for the aquarium business. it would suck to have done all that work to find out that it has the par values of a incandescent light bulb I can hardly wait to hear what they actually are....

The formula for watts is: Watts=Voltage*Current (amps) so wattage is a double edged sword high voltage low current or high current low voltage is the same wattage. That's why we pay in watts the power company gets you both ways! |

![]() Ya, apparently they have a 28v DC controller that runs them. So ys, the 120V current isnt that much, for what it produces

Don't get me wrong, I think plasma and LEDs are the future, but they're not quite ready for prime time it seems just yet. It's become sort of like the plug-in electric car of reefing. |

![]() What better reflector could there be? I thought Luminarc's were top shelf? I agree with Steve though, 2 would be better for that tank.
