Would be interesting to know PAR readings from LED's only

I'm like a question machine today
It definitely seems that the issues of light spread with LEDs are dealt with by the T5s. There is shimmer, when the T5 is at 100% it's still visible, not like Kessils but just a gentle shimmer.
There is no discoball effect that I've noticed, if it's there then it's very faint, and no chance of it with the T5s running.
I'll get PAR readings of just LED tomorrow.
Questions are good, that's why I started this thread because there was just no information online, there can't be many people running this light (understandable because of the price) because all the reviews I found were from magazines/websites and not end users.
