Wingo - I am attaching a few ideas for fixture comparison - I also think it would be nice to include MH or T5 in PAR testing so each person would have a point of reference. I doubt a lot of people know what is PAR of MH at 15 inches or 20 inches - same for T5s.
Here are my suggestions as far as comparsion points:
Comparison/Review Points
a) PAR:
LED vs MH vs T5
- Intensity vs spread
b) Cooling solutions:
- Controllability of fan speeds? (no need for the same speed of fans for moonlights and daylights)
- Automatic shot down in case overheating?
c) Drivers used
d) Controllability/User preferences:
- Sunrise and sunset simulation options
- Moonlight settings (28 day moon cycle)
- Seasons simulations
- Overcast day simulation
- PAR programming in order to eliminate risk of burning or overexposing corals to change in light intensity.
- Color Temperature – option to control hue temperature from 12k to 24k
e) craftsmanship/appearance
