Radion VS Sol Spread
 

Ok so here it is. All are mounted about 8 inches off the water.

Looks like a close match to me

to they almost have the same brightness,I think to help better replace the far left Sol fixture as exactly by the Radion fixture and that should help you better at comparing simply by the pictures you take.
I am not sure about either of specs sheets on these fixtures, type of LEDs max power to individual LED and how many LEDs in each fixture and pricing of course.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Radion's spread. The way people were going on about it I was expecting a noticeable difference.

BTW nice to see you're moorish idol is still doing well!

yup he's doing great. been using sponge power and sponges are growing all over the place. he hunts for them non stop.

so 1 month down the road, which do you prefer?

The Radion went back to the store and I now have all sols

Based upon the look of the spread, I think you made the right decision....plus you now have $400 extra to spend on other stuff!

The Sol looks more diffused and spread out more evenly and the Radion hot spotting.
