How many watts does a icecap 660 with 4x46.5 lights use?
Cant seem to find this.

Also according to Icecap you can 3-48" bulbs on a 430 but all the retialers list a 660 for 3 whats up with that. Are they just gready or is icecap wrong which I would doubt since they make it.

When I bought mine, I thought IceCap listed the 430's as supporting 12' but you might want to confirm your config by sending IceCap an email directly.

FWIW I am using a 660 on 4-48's, one 430 is driving 4x55watt PC's, and the last 430 is running a mix of NO on my freshwater breeders.

Been happy with them for over 3 years but I have never checked on how many watts any of them are actually pulling and my par meter is only good as a baseline for loss of output.

Good luck.
