Did you get the full spectrum/90Degree?
I have never measured wattage but would guess its 120 as stated? I assume thats at full intensity but again not sure. I also have a SWC Extreme running at 60w. Not as intense white as the D120 but its a pretty good fixture. My sps grew well under it as long as not to deep but that seems the same for my 120.

I aslo took a 150w fixture off my 20g tank when I bought the 60w unit. I never had much luck with the 150 and a 14k double ended bulb. My corals grew better with the led, but as mentioned limited depth and spread. On my 30g I almost need both which I assume is 180w. May as well run a 250 halide.
