These three shots will show you a couple different things.
First you will see in each the actual "spread" of a single Lumenbright mini 14.5" from the surface. As you can see and can also look back at the full tank shot that the spread is pretty significant and very doable even at this height. You can actually see in these photos by the hard lines the light clearly illuminting a large section of the tank. By raising the reflector the section of the cone of light at the surface of the water will become wider crossing light into and under the next reflector.
Don't be fooled by silly talk of laser beams and a lack of spread when referring to a LumenBright. These things are for real.
The numbers will show that the spread is also very evenly distributed throughout Jeremy's rock work - more to come.
The second thing shown here is actual color balanced examples of 3 different bulbs and how they look under a LumenBright on an electronic CV ballast. It will be pretty obvious how illuminated each bulb truly is and will be backed up by the PAR numbers we took today. More to come as well...
Blueline 250w 10K bulb(How old is this bulb Jeremy?)
Coralvue 250w 12K Reeflux: 1 month old bulb(Jeremy?)
EVC 250w 14K: 1.5 month old bulb
As you can see the 12K is simply brighter and has a more natural appearance as opposed to the other two bulbs. I do notice that these 12K bulbs really do pop against a blue background. I myself will be scraping my back glass over the next week to apply a blue coat to better help with white balancing photographs.
