Just so there is no confusion I wanted to post again.. the IceCap driven system is only putting out 66% of the light my M80 driven system is putting out.. now having said that reflectors will play a part also.
the upper hand should go to the pendent that the DE bulb was in (the IceCap set up) but I have a hunch my reflector is preforming a bit better. aside from that I still think the M80 is also producing more PAR, but the only way I would be able to tell for sure is if SamW brought over his IceCap ballast and we wired it to my bulb and reflector.
