Par dropoff

Here's a thread comparing 15 month old Iwasaki's against a few other bulb's. http://www.livingreefs.com/par-meter-readings-t19189.html You can see more data on Sanjay's site.

Cheers,
 
I run Iwasaki bulbs and I'd love to see numbers on comparing a new bulb to one of 9/12 months old. I start seeing a huge difference and have to replace them.
 
When I ran them I bought new bulbs every six months I had two mh fixtures and just sold the bulbs for 50% off of retail so really was only buying one bulb every six months and par always consistent. Personally nine months is usually the tail end of mh bulb life that when par will drop and spectrum shift happens

I would love to do that Pampee, but more than likely it would be through e-bay or craigslist. I hate selling stuff that has to be shipped. Always some mess to deal with, this might be specially true with MH bulbs. I guess I could just stick to the 9 month rule.
