what a joke of a article. they measured the PAR of the led array at 50mm, thats 2" and then they cooked the results of the XM bulb.. I just lost a lot of respect for Dana.
I get PAR measurements in the 5 to 700 range at the bottom of my tank from a SA bulb and the XM tested about the same output as the SA so right there it tells you that the XM should have the same out put as the Solaris but at 12 X the distance. also they put plexy in front of the bulb, why?? did they use a DE bulb? if so they picked the lower output to compare from the get go and reduced the output even more. Also what ballast did they use? I don't know to me it looks like a cooked article to push the sales of solarius instead of a real comparison. hell they should send me one and I will test it against several bulbs.. won't be able to do that fancy plotting to make it look better but I can do real life tests at 20" distances through both air, water and a combination.

I don't even know where Dana does his forum now, if it is RC or reef.org then I don't go to either anymore. Steve
