Maybe a fishroom light?

Have you tried any PAR measurements without the diffuser?

I may try testing it without the diffuser tonight but I would not want to run it long term over saltwater without a cover. Salt creep would likely destroy the LEDs and small reflectors.

Nice review, this will certainly save some unsuspecting new buyer the same purchase.

Or help some buyers make this purchase . The light does have its applications. Plus, remember that this was just one unit.

I agree. If you can't run a product out of the box like a light the way manufacturer intended I'd perhaps look at other options. Perhaps a unit with a glass shield. Do most have that?
