Netlea at5s PAR?

[Asher E.]

What’s the PAR on the netlea at5s? I’m thinking of getting it to upgrade from my chihiros b series.
Anything else anyone thinks I should know about the light would be good too.

@Asher E. I don't have information related to PAR for this light. However, I can tell you that it's adjustable and quite powerful. I would suspect it has enough to push high light pretty far down the water column. What size tank will you use it on?

It’s a 5.4 gallon tank. Around 14”x8”x11” tall. I’m assuming that the netlea light is overkill, but it’s cheaper than a chihoros wrgb slim.

You will have to tune it down significantly but you will have enough light to upgrade the tank in the future.

Thanks. Having the light be able to be way stronger would be helpful because I could do that for a day to get plants a little more red before taking good pictures, or if I have floaters that get overgrown and blocking light for the other plants I can turn the light up.

I have a Chihiro’s C2 RGB on a 7 gallon tank. I don’t know how it compares to Netlea, but it’s doing great for me. It’s available for $89 with free shipping right now on eBay.

Pardon the scraggly look. The tank has been without maintenance for nearly 3 weeks. This is how it looks today though. The light is at 25%.

I posted PAR measurements in the official club Netlea thread. I have owned both the B series and Netlea AT5s, the AT5s is way more powerful than the B series, you'd only be able to use maybe a quarter of its power.

I’m gonna try to slowly increase the PAR until it’s where I want it. Probably around 200. I’ll start around 110 because that’s what my chihiros b series is.
I’ll check out that thread. Thanks.
