Strip Build PAR Readings?

Strip light questions and discussions go here (Samsung, Bridgelux, Photo Boost, Growcraft, etc.)

Does anybody know of any PAR readings for any strip fixture builds? Specifically Bridgelux Gen 2 strips? I want to build a fixture with 32 560 mm gen 2 strips and was hoping to learn of par readings for something along these lines. Maybe even PAR readings for one strip to see how quickly it drops off outside direct line of sight of the diode?

Any info is appreciated, thanks!

This isn't par but you can download a free lux app to see how light drops off spatially as well it will tell you how to space out your strips to get even coverage which by the way you shouldn't evenly space your strip build you won't be getting even distribution that way.

Can you elaborate on the strip spacing? I haven't heard that before.

Each led contributes and overlaps with it's neighbors. The end leds don't have as many neighbors. The middle led has contributions from leds on both sides. You have to think about it, draw the beam angle for each led. Download the lux app and test it, it's free.
