I took some Par readings with a seneye, pumps turned on so the readings jumped a little and I took an average.
This is with 3 radion xr15's two gen 3 with a gen 4 in the middle.
all three at 100% intensity on the SPSAB+ setting.

All readings directly under the lights except the bottom middle and bottom right readings which are 2 inches off the front glass and hence lower.
Not bad numbers but the shadowing is the reason I have changed to an ati 4 bulb hybrid from Germany with the new style pucks.
