I was wrong. The biggest vipar was 300w and 32”.
The 48” blackbox led I was thinking of was evergrow and I forget what they claimed the watts was. This was 2013-2015 ish

They currently "imply" "352W" for the 48" model "suitable for a 5ft tank" 88 leds
"The IT50 series are designed to be used with any Coral, saving costs on other types of lighting."
EVERGROW, not Viparspectra.. a bit o/t..

But ACTUALLY 240 WATTS
32" 288"W".. "suitable for a 4ft tank". Same fuzzy logic applies.. 230 real watts
Yea they spec wattage by led total watts not by power draw. They underdrive them
Regardless of watts they put out a lot of par
The 32” especially. I remember doing the math and the 32” is like 90% of the leds from the 48”, but in 75% if the space
- Hyper Red: 4 Osram (3W)
- Green: 4 Cree XPE (3W)
- Deep Blue: 16 Cree XTE (5W)
- Cool White: 20 Cree XTE (5W)
- Blue: 16 Cree XPE (3W)
- Indigo: 8 SemiLEDS (3W)

36 5W + 36 3w (72 leds)
Yea that's weird....The real to fake ratio is a lot better..
.8 vs .68The 90 degree tight lenses added a lot of punch to all these type of lights.

The 32 is stronger per foot than the 48
The par charts from reefbreeder confirms it also. The 32 puts out higher numbers
Then there is the weird 50” model which I think is the same as the 48 but spaced out a little more

I’d love to see pictures when/if you get it.
Also check the sticker on it to see if there is a model number - this will help look up specs
