Unless I'm missing something else I should be ok to rotate them all with no effects.

As do the RADions says Sanjay. Maybe you should just upgrade



I dont see why you cant rotate them. The refletor is only like an 1" different if I remember correctly.

Yeah yeah I know... halide par is now FAKE par and LED par is like... 10x more concentrated and can cure many serious ailments lol.

I know right!! I feel so much better when I turn mine on over an empty tank and sit by it

If I remember correctly though you get less "par" directly under the lamp. Im sure that's not really an issue for you though.
