I have a few and they will close up if there is too much current flowing over/at/on them. I have 215W T5s over my 55G, they are about midway up the tank (if that means anything to the more experienced folks). I don't have any real knowledge of them, just my personal observations. It does look like some of them are open and the ones in the middle/back are closed, check your flow...I will now digress to the experts....
