Help me decide between: LumenArc vs. LumenBright vs. Lumen Max Elite

[purplegorilla]

So I am thinking about replacing the lights on my 240. Anyone have a site where there are some comparisons between these reflectors. I saw the discusion on the new Lumen Max Elite but so far really no pars even after 6 months of discussion. Now that they all come in 250 DE HQI, it gives me an alternative to upgrading since I want to stay with 250w HQI. I do have a canopy but thinking about cutting the top of my canopy and contruct some bracket to mount the reflectors.

My tank is 30 inch tall, and I have 4 of these already mounted.

I do have a par meter. Do you still have the old lumen III where we can put it on for comparison with the same bulb?

You're a pretty handy guy. You can make a lumenarc to the exact size you need for your tank. In terms of effeciency, they're all fairly close from what I was reading and its hard to compare them directly as different sizes lead to different par values but also different amounts of coverage.
