I don't think Radions will be worth much anymore with the advancement of new LED technologhy. It's like that new laptop you bought two months ago.......it's not worth much today

No not at all I still think they are the best lights out there, I just hope the vega's are equal with the ability to adjust wirelessly. I still Love my Radions and I'm not totally sure if I'm going to sell the radions or the Vega's yet.

Yeah I did see them at Big als in the clearance bin next to the bio balls and air stone skimmers.....LMAO

c'mon they are still selling for the same price as always, they are the top of the line light and I just hope the Vega's can equal them (with easier controllability)
Thanks for the giggle though

I finally got some time and adjusted my rack and got all the Iights up...

One first look the Radions are brighter by quite a bit, but I'm expecting the Vega's wireless controller today so maybe some adjusting will help.

There are 2 radions on the right and 2 Vegas on the left equally spaced.

I believe the radions are still ramping up at that point probably about 90%. The Vegas are at 100% as far as I can tell without the controller. I'm hoping I can tweak them to get brighter and maybe they need to break in??

So you decided to sell the Vega fixtures?
What did you not like about them specifically? Did the radion simply outpower it?

Subman, are you able to get a par meter and take some reading for us? It would be greatly appreciated.

On the side note, the money you spend on 1 radion you can almost get 2 vegas, not saying it's better but just stating a fact.
