Thanks Anthony once we get these in I'll take that up when the time comes. These put out 40 lumines per watt more per emitter if I remember correctly... that isn't par but with 9 leds in the bulb your looking at close to equivalent of 10 XR-E emitter (lux). As for coverage it'll do close to 1' x 1' roughly where the intensity is highest to keep coral up to sps.
Edit: Just to give a rough idea of what these guys are capable of doing, the XR-E version of the 27W ICE CooL.E.D gave 250PAR at 12" depth so we can probably assume that the PAR value will be at 300-350 given that the lamp now uses a 750ma driver instead of the 600ma driver previously.
