    Troy was going to stop over when he grabbed it bud. Just saying if you knew you weren't gonna have time to use it, pass it on. Not pointing fingers, holy cow.

    I asked about one weeks ago FYI, never got a response. Imagine that! Glad everyone has their priorities in order.

    Money,
    Really that sucks sorry man. Who did you ask?  I asked the 25th, because I remembered some talk about us getting the Meter at the Fest.

    I am unsure what Andy wants to do. I have no problem giving it up to you when I am done, but let me contact Andy and see what we need to do. I think its a check in and out through him thing so he can check condition after every use to make sure its working correctly between each use.
    Hope Andy Chimes in soon. lol

    /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif I know adds up way too fast. I am just planing on upgrades of course, but it will take some cash that's for sure..

    Wondering if someone has a time table for borrowing this? Probably only need it long enough to grab a couple quick par numbers with my current lights so I can set my timer appropriately.

    It was going that way until I broke my hand, so all my money is wrapped up in medical bills. Yay

    I'm in line after gravvatj to use it. As far as I know, there have been no guidelines set-up about how long we're supposed to borrow it, testing it to see if its working properly after each person borrows it etc? I will ask Andy or/and Bob about that........

    Here are my par readings.  I have three banks of 36 leds.  Each bank has a 3 strands broken down as:
    12 cw
    6 cw+ 6 rb
    12 rb
    In my images, a ^ means back of the bank, a "v" means front of the tank, and plain number is middle.
    Here is 100% power for everything.  The RED numbers are the levels.

    That's really cool, would be neat to see both pictures on the same page for easier comparison.......I see some of the numbers are the same, interesting. What does each number mean or what is the measurement unit? I've never used a par meter before, so please excuse my ignorance.
