does anyone have this light? I just picked one up and cant find any real technical info on it. Anyone know the amperage draw? any specifics would be helpful. Thanks

I've had one over a year, changed bulbs once probably should change now. Sorry not much info supplied with light..I have a 24" deep 36" long tank with mostly soft or lps. I have one pink birds nest that is growing nicely and one brown sps growing. No problems experienced with the NEP 1080 36" Nova Extreme Pro 6x39watt T5HO. What is the info you want?

I've had that fixture for 2yrs, 9 months. I've only replaced two of the bulbs. (I should replace the blues but I'm putting my 90g back up, so I hate to put more money into the old tank, the 10k bulbs are still fine, corals are fine, no cyano). As far as how much wattage, I would imagine its something along the lines of 80% efficient, the load is 234W, so that would mean it probably draws around 280W, or 2.25A (roughly). Maybe a bit better, maybe a tad worse. I could tell you exactly if I drug it into work with me and hooked up to the Sencore, but I'm not going to.
