I have upgraded 2 of the 3 fixtures. I have them somewhat tuned to the same color. The new modules get there with more channels though so higher output for the same ~20K ish color. If that makes sense.

Do you notice any effects on coral look from the enhanced uv?

Maybe a little, but honestly - not a lot given that I already had the originals violet, blue and UV cranked up and the white, red, green turned down a good but. (sort of AB+). This is closer to that color without turning down the whiter channels as much. So I do have a lot more output.

I think for people who like REALLY BLUE that they could get even more pop out of them.

Maybe the easiest way to answer is that I still don't get the same crisp pop that I would see with a 10K or 15K MH and a VHO super actinic or two.

Also - I have the power level in the UVs and deeper end set to basically drive at 100%. I am not sure what this means for lifesapan of the UVs.

Yeah, I’ve been searching for that crisp color for years. Maybe this light with T5s? Or the OG with T5s?

I am not sure that I have the answer. I have also not spent time playing around with these (at all).

I think that I like them better than the originals and certainly much better than the Radion Pros (gen 1 upgrades with lenses and clusters to Pro).

I had the NooPsyche K7s for a short period (still sitting in corner) and I like these better also. However, the K7s were a bit more of a point source, so hard to compare.
