Those are PAR numbers...I mean is what is your light intensity output? Should be a percent.
Reef brite par is not a lot and I use mine just for the blue POP at 100% and they don't add a lot of par. I'd have to dig the par meter put to check again but when we installed our 72" XHO I was suprised at how little par went up with it at 100%.
If you want coverage and par go with T5 Or more hydra.
