The EA80 arrived yesterday and I couldn't resist the urge to pull all my 30" lights and get a few lineup shots. I also set it up and took some PAR readings.

The Razor makes the Stingray look tiny. The Razor has 54x0.5watt 6500K LEDs. Rated for 2700 Lumens. It's not as nice in fit and finish as the Stingray but you get what you pay for. The electrical cord was LONG! The Finnex ones are just barely manageable, and my older RAY2 is stupid short.

Here are the PAR Readings. I kinda have a thing for 30" fixtures. The setup was an empty Seaclear Acrylic tank, light sitting on provided feet (as it would sit on the rim of your tank) a ruler on the back to measure height, and a BioTech BT3000 PAR meter. Height measurements are accurate to 1/8" and all numbers are listed as they appeared on the screen, no additional conversions listed.

That's a lot of fixtures on that 36G Bowfront. ;-)

Thanks.. The Razor is unexpectedly low in PAR...
Best guess is the ind. diodes are set to only output 150mA

Out of curiosity can you see the resistor number on the RayII and the ps voltage?

The 2 tight rows vs 3 spread rows makes more of a difference than I would have thought..
All the resistors on the Razor board show "180"

The Ray2 is the earlier one with the PS integrated and the stupidly short power cord.
