Is anyone using these? What has your experience been like? Have you tested them for par?

Par is very even across the board in my red sea 250, I love my xr15 blues. Going to add an xr15 pro to help add more par and balance out the blues. I have seen alot of sps heads opting for the pro over the blue on R2R, but you can't go wrong with either. Just added diffusers to them the other day no complaints so far. Probably going to sell my Hydra and get another xr15 for a lagoon frag tank in the future.

I sold my (4) gen 2 xr30s and bought (4) gen 5 blue xr15s. They are currently running on my 180 (60”x30”) and so far I am happy with the coverage. My tank is mixed reef.

I put mine in on the tank today XR30 g5 blue. The spread and PAR were great and running around 65% i was getting 250-300 PAR around the middle and lower portion of the tank.

So far these lights are awesome.

Have you played with the lime leds? What’s your coloration if you drop them to zero versus 100%?

I played with the other red, lime, and other colors and I couldn't tell much difference. Maybe just my eye but it didn't seem to shift how the tank looked to me. I ran the coral lab ab+ setting and just played with the intensity.

I haven't but they look nice. I choose the Radions mainly because there was a lot of data on the PAR and spectrum outputs and they connect to the Mobius app. Since I don't plan on getting a full-blown controller the Mobius app is awesome! I can control my return pump (vectra s2), dosers and lights from the same place.
