The spread on a radion cannot be compared to a SOL.

SOL have 70 degree optics and the Radions have no optics (120 degrees) simple math states the LED's on a radion have a 50 degree advantage over the SOL.

Glad to see you found one you prefer. How did you like the Radion Software over the SOL controller? I have heard the SOL controller kinda sucks.

The sol controller does what it has too. I set it once and left it. Works perfectly.

The radion software I played with for a couple days and then the coolness wore off and the I left it to just do what it does

Thank-you for posting this. I'm in a debate with myself on which to get so this helps out tremendously.

But the Radion has some red and green light that supposably make it a better light with better color overall.

YOu could also consider the JBJ Unibody that was a much better spread than the nano sol. If I will be going for a LED light, I will get the Unibody because it is stronger than the sol and has a better spread.
