I have a 120g goin with 2 Radions with excellent coverage. 1 AI didn't cover 1/2 of my 120 tank properly so it was obviously sold.
PAR meters are devices that are used to measure and compare light fixtures. Not accurate with LED's but good for comparing 2 LED fixtures. Par meters are not needed even needed when looking at Radion coverage vs AI spotlighting as it can be seen with the naked eye.

i've posted threads with pictures showing the difference between the 2 fixtures proving my point.

why wont you post a picture to prove yours?

What some are doing is buying the cheaper AI's then supplementing them with T5's to achieve proper colouring to match the Radions
