T5 to LED question

[Mark_C]

So, I dtropped the XR15s over the tank. There's now 2x of them over an IM30g AIO.
I removed the 4 bulb T5, going to try just the LEDs for now.
So, the big question...
As the corals were under considerable T5 coverage, should I do an acclimation with the LEDs?
I can set start level percentage and amount of days for the ramp up to 100% but I have no idea if its necessary.
When I drop the LEDs in without acclimation, it seems to be a similar (visually) level of intensity as the T5s (I do not have a PAR meter).
Thoughts and expericence appreciated.

You should have used a lux meter or app on the T5 to get a ball park figure. Then do the same with LED.

Absolutely positively no way to answer this without a par meter

Start at 20% and work your way up. You probably max out @40% for that tank.

Why risk it...acclimate them anyway. The XR15s have a wonderful acclimation mode...use it.

Why are you changing? T5 are great!!! I wish I would try them before!!!
