Higher end materials? The reflectors are both alanod Miro silver. The ballasts are both programmed start with same ballast factor. The only difference is that the Gies has a shinier shell yet it still doesn't hold a candle to an ATI Powermodule which is made of 100% extruded aluminum.
The reflectors on the Gies are 30% weaker than the quasi parabolic of the sunpower and even worse when compared to the full parabolic of the powermodule. Giesemann chose to go the cheap route with it yet charge a premium.
Not only have owners on rc done par tests on the Gies but also temperature tests and bulbs get way too hot past the optimal T5 operating temperature.
Have a look on the Biotek B5HO toAre those just different t/5 bulbs ?

Light that’s reflected back at the tube with parabolic reflector can increase its working temperature which is not the case with specular reflector and light is more spread reason with you loose on PAR readings on the Matrixx.
Did you already saw a Giesmann Matrixx II in front of you ??
The Matrixx is a much better looking fixture with a tick anodized aluminum frame fixture with Twin Layer Powder Coat Finish with passive glass cooling, it is not just a piece of bent aluminum like the ATI.
To me that's a pretty clear display of insufficient cooling.
Every real world test shows otherwise. Many tests show the bulbs running up into the 140's faranheit. Check out the RC thread where people aren't even seeing 500 PAR at the surface.Like this was already explain earlier in 2009 !!!
As you can see the Matrixx is made to run at 35c at 100%...so there is any insufficient cooling.
Lab Test run

This sounds like the Geisemann rep that I talked to years ago. They denied every real world experience as well.
I have one, and this is absolutely true. Also, despite ATI's claims, all of their bulbs are not equal as far as growing acros is concerned. Most of my acros prefer the aqua blue special with the actinic. I also just added a KZ 10,oooK bulb, which is very bright (I don't have a PAR meter, but in footcandles it puts out a thousand more than the aqua blue special.If I where to do it again I'd run a 8 bulb fixture with 2 of the bulbs being E5 blue pop and dont bother with a the t5 dimmable fixtures They put out less PAR at max, like 10-15% less.

On a peninsula I'd do two blues they really make the corals look much better. I tried an E5 blue pop bulb and honestly I couldnt really tell the difference between it and a normal T5 blue plus. The color was slightly different but it didnt produce any more light. I think the selling point of the E5 is how long they last compared to a T5.
why would you need more then what it's able to produce? I don't get it.I have one, and this is absolutely true.
