400WMH aquaconnect+6x54w T5HO gave 500PAR at 12" depth
27W ICE CooL.E.D gave 250PAR at 12" depth
15W ICE CooL.E.D gave 150PAR at 12" depth

400W MH ran at 89C
27W ICE CooL.E.D ran at 48C with almost zero heat project forward
15W ICE CooL.E.D ran at 41C with almsot zero heat project forward

Core running temperature on the O.C ICE CooL.E.D is about 50C the fins dissipate the heat to about 38-41 near the LEDs in the front.

Come in the store and check out the Nano system we have running with the O.C ICE CooL.E.D spotlight

How about doing a comparison with a 250W metal halide? I think probably more people are using 250s than 400s, plus the results should be more favourable!

how long would these bulbs last before losing the par reading

My guess would be about 3-4 years. Led's are awesome

I shall, just have to find a 250W setup to compare it to once we find one and test the results i'll post them

Given the LEDs spotlights are used properly, not inside an enclosed fixture, the PAR valve drop is only 30% through the lifespan of the LEDs which is roughly 6 years

How and when can we purchase/oder these?
