Radions

[subman]

I currently have 2 Radions on half and 2 Vega's on the other half of my 225. The radions appear to be much brighter and seem to penetrate as well if not better. That being said I am waiting for the wireless controller for it, I was really waiting for the director so I can do adjustments via my phone, iPad ect. but it seems to be a loooong ways away and will require an additional device as well (very disappointing). The other thing that I see is the disco effect is more prevalent on the vegas because of the way they are setup and the lenses. My hope is once I get the controller I can adjust things to perhaps close the gap between the two. I am planning on doing a full review/comparison once the controller arrives (its only a week and a half late lol)

For what it's worth I also have the Sol on my frag section and it is a great light for frags the growth is good but I believe the missing green and red LEDS make a huge difference in the appearance of livestock.

Thanks for all the reply's, I decided not to buy because of the no warranty issue.
I passed the link on to Ensquire since he was the first to ask.

How deep is your tank? I noticed the Vegas to be one of the disco-ey fixtures simply because of the narrow optics. Too busy and unnatural looking for my liking. I really dislike the Sols, the color is really unappealing to me. The Radions I think have a more appealing look.

I wish every brand would make user-switchable optics so each fixture could be adjusted according to the tank they are lighting. Makes sense to me.

My tank is 24" deep. I agree about the switchable optics as well so the Vega's puck idea sounds good. I have a pic (not a great one though) on my build thread if you want to see them side by side.
I'm curious to see what I can do once I have the controller.

Mike if you don't buy them pass that link on
