I performed a rather major update of the Aquarium Lighting article again, in particular in the sections dealing with PAR and Useful Light Energy. As well more was added to the SHO light (in the Lighting "type" section).
New graphs were also added as well more descriptions of terms.
I should also note that I found out about more research coming out of the medical community as to the use of full spectrum/PAR for disease prevention. This in part came about when the North American distributor of SHO lights informed me that none would be available for over a month as the Green house and now the medical community were literally buying these SHO lights in the 1000s while my orders were maybe a dozen at a time and they suggested that I buy more at a time to keep from running out.
This sort of broadsided me in that I cannot afford to buy much more than a couple months ahead and really is discouraging when the rest of the scientific/lighting community/industry is familiar with these lights, yet the aquarium industry continues to ignore them or even bash them (at places like YA, some Google Groups, & many other forums)
