Reef Brite XHO blue led strips and par

Has anyone tested the Reef Brite XHO blue led strips to see how much par they produce?
I'm curious if it can be compared to a T5 bulb.

I've never seen a test but remember reading that it was equivalent to two T-5 bulbs. Now i'm curious if that is true...

Just saw a thread elsewhere that said the par under xho's weren't much.
