I’m starting a database to hold all my test results for PAR publicly. These type of tests don’t seem to be very commonly shared online and because of that, PAR seems to be very little understood. I’ll be testing as many lighting systems as I can get my hands on and posting results on the Reef PAR Database page. I’ll keep updates on the blog as well.
