PAR Readings for Chihiros WRGB2 Pro90 on OASE90

[Miles T]

Hi Everyone,

I've recently equipped my tank (OASE 90) with a Chihiro WRGB Pro 90 light and had the chance to use a PAR meter. Below are the key points of my setup and the methodology used for taking the PAR readings, followed by a chart with the results:

• The light fixture is mounted 18cm above the tank's surface, ensuring optimal light distribution.
• The tank is 45cm high.
• The substrate is 1cm in height at the point where the meter was positioned when taking the bottom reading.
• I measured PAR levels at three points: the tank's bottom, middle, and top.
• The measurements were carried out across a range of lighting intensities, increasing in increments of 10% from 0 to 100%.
• It's worth noting that the colour settings for White, Red, Green, and Blue were maintained at equal levels.

Setting %	PAR Bottom	PAR Mid	PAR Surface
10	7	10	14
20	21	28	38
30	34	45	61
40	48	60	83
50	60	76	104
60	74	87	127
70	87	107	147
80	100	123	168
90	111	138	190
100	121	153	215

I hope it helps someone.

All the best.

Miles
