Im on the fence big time on this light.........
PROS:
The savings are HUGE on these lights! (Costs half as much to light a tank as any other LED option)
The par ratings are insane! (200 at 30")
The number of LEDs in the setup is awesome! (54 on a 36")
There are 6 different types of bulbs including the UV LED's which makes for a very adaptive light setup which is perfect for us maglomaniacs!
CONS:
They are just launching in Canada, thus making the availability limited and the wait long.
They are still in the exploratory phase of the light development meaning that what they are releasing is only the 'Beta' Model.
They have only Apple supported software, but the Droid software is following behind(when? no idea)
The lights have no optics built in but in the future optics will be available.
There are so few distributors in Canada thus making ordering a test of patience.
And the good pricing is only for introductory porposes, meaning that if some of us decide to wait on future developments of this light (optics, OS combatibility for the control program, final descision on LED count and types) the price will already be increased to meet the normal Canadiam Market pricing standards.
It will be very difficult for this light to pull me away from the radion which is fully combatible, cheap to fix, expandable, fully developed, availble everywhere and not too bad on pricing(compared to the vertex)
