So I've been following this thread with great interest; even though I can't afford the LED light at this moment. Thanks for posting the results, since people can argue all of the theoretical points for all they want, but in the end, the numbers don't lie.

My questions for you are:

1. How do you extrapolate from your results comparing between a 90w fixture with a 322w fixture to say that if you have three LEDs then the result will pretty much even 1:1.

2. I just checked the Aquaillumnation fixtures on Reegeek; and the 90w fixture is 12 inches long. The 24'' fixture has double the output. Since the standard MH setup that you used covers 24'', aren't you supposed to test the 24'' fixture to have an unbiased result? Since a big argument on your part was the previous testing used some unknown, not optimized reflectors on the MH setup, I think testing the 24'' LED fixture instead of a 12'' one would make your comparison much more valid.

And if I made some wrong assumption on my part, please let me know. Again thanks for the testing and posting the result.
