I think it would be a great tool. I really am only intrested in the par meter. Though on the web site they say that the par it reads is different than the PAR a Appogee meter reads. I wonder if they are simply converting lux to par? Thats what worries me. I am not concered with shift or decrease in par but really want to know stanard par that certain coral is getting.
That’s exactly what I meant, thanks Don.
There are close guesses such as
"To get Lux reading you need to multiply PAR by:
Sun - 55.2
Incandescent lamp 49.0
Cool white 78.8
Vita-Lite 62.8
Gro-Lux 37.0
Gro-Lux Wide Spectrum 55.1
HPS 83.3
MH Lamp 74.5"
Given that on the website regarding par, they state should only be used forcomparison with another Senseye, and that fact Quantum Meters are $, and theyalso speak of changing the formulas they use to arrive at readings, Im not surehow they are doing it. As I said, I will post the reply once I get one fromthem.
That work for ya?

Mike,
Its useless, unless you are trying to measure change, such as bulb life. Then it works, for just that, figuring out when to change bulbs, but its about worthless if you get a coral from a friend with a Quantum meter, and he tells you stick it under 400 par, then you take it home and use a non standard Senseye to give it "400" par.
Im really curious to see what they say, if it truely is a quantum meter, count me in.

It's actually worse to use for bulb life. As a bulb ages it dims, but it also shifts more to red green which a lux meter is weighted towards. This means that the two signs of age can off set each other. Using lux to measure par is about as accurate as trying to eye ball it because it is designed to measure what we see. The seneye couples it's par meter with a spectrum reading though, so it should still be able to tell when to change bulbs.
