Just a thought... and its a question I should have asked the guys I was with yesterday but didn't think to !
A lot of the top end / expensive units seem to be higher wattage and fewer bulbs... the likes of Arcadia, TMC grobeam, Ecotech Radion, and even some of the homemade ones that reefers are getting into. These typically have no more than 30 LED's per unit. But you also see some that have literally hundreds, though the bulbs are often as low as 0.06w as opposed to say 3w on the aforementioned units.
I am just wondering why the difference ? Im probably answering my own question here, as I assume the higher the wattage then the greater the light penetration, but it begs the question "why bother with a unit that has hundreds of LED's" ?
If anyone can shed any light or point me to any useful articles on the subject I would be grateful.
Cheers
