I just finally got one of my LumenBrights I got off karsseboom up on my tank. It took longer since I ordered heavy gauge 25 foot extensions from Sunlight Supply so I could run these from my basement far away.
Wow....Just in appearance alone, the LumenBright stomps on the LumenMax 3. I am running a Phoenix bulb on the right with a LM3 reflector. Bulb is about 6-7 months old and both these reflectors are about 12-13" off the tank( to the bottom of reflector). On the left is a brand new Radium bulb in a LumenBright Mini. Both are being run on the same dual Blue Wave 7 M80 ballast. Not sure how much the Iphone pic/vid pick it up, but the LumenBright is mcuh brighter and has a lot more shimmer to it. Forgive the barren tank....its in the process of going to full out SPS. I broke it down and celaned it 100% with some new and cleaned old rock. Its been set up as is for about a month and a half with only a tang and dwarf angel in there. Corals are being added in about a month or 2.
Here is a pic showing the 2 of them. LB/Radium left, Phoenix in LM3 right.
Short vid trying to capture the extra shimmer of the LB:
