Tools for measuring light in URS?

Several.....Getting one lent to you is a whole nother question.....I have been looking for a while to get one for my self
 
I'm not outrageously motivated so that probably means it won't happen. Just wondering if there were community tools passed around freely. I'm betting that when I get my tank set up with the LEDs people are going to ask what the PAR is and I'd like to have an answer.

Though, from my own personal perspective, it's just a number. The "answer" will be coral growth rates. :)
 
I have access to one but it was loaned out a while ago and hasnt made its way back once it does I can swing by and get some readings if you would like I would be interested in the results as well
 
i can usually get one from the theater...but i have sign over a considerable portion of my assets until its return.....
 
ever seen the massive amount of lights above a stage, Steve? Wanna know how we get to those lights or get the lights down to the stage? The most state of the art PAR meter is in every single theater house to measure the amount of light to the stage, especially on lights (interestingly called PARS) that are gelled (colored), so we aren't flying in a full electric pipe or using a genie lift with the required three spotters (bodies = money) to find out which light may go during a show....or...that the equal amount of light is spread across the stage to eliminate dead spots. It can also tell us if a gel is about to burn through...which would cause an unwanted lighting effect because of the difference between the center of the light and the edges. I betcha i could read the PAR of your tank from here with that meter....j/k. Answer your question? And no...I can't lend this out...ever. My body would wind up in the canal.

a little more than 200 bucks in these.....
 
:confused:I'm still at a loss. I understood PAR (photosynthetically available radiation) in reefing to refer to a type of energy, as opposed to visible light.
 
it does. and that's how it is measured from light to stage. come to one of my shows (hint, hint, wink, wink...and i'll show you.)
 
Bumping this back up, as the final rig is built on my big tank and I'm curious to get some numbers to see if they match with my estimates.

I am basically in the Syracuse area. Wondering if anyone in the immediate area has a PAR meter. I can pick up and deliver back to you within whatever timeframe you desire, or you can come over and see the tank.
