Couldnt wait so I hooked one up to see how the Mitras compared to the Radion G1 with TIR lens...



Placed one between two other Radions (turned off). Please note that the Mitras is above the Radions and the light spread is somewhat limited. I have it set close to the max...



The first thing I had noticed are the colours. IMHO, the lights from the Mitras are the closest resembling T5s. The colours are better spread then the Radions and even the pics turn out sharper and colours being more vibrant (even with a iphone).

Pic taken with the Mitras over the left side of the tank...

Pic taken with the Radions over the same side...


I still like the Radions and I intend to keep the ones I already have for my upcoming "garage" tank... I am very impressed with what I have seen so far of the Mitras and IMO definitely worth the $ ( at least for me).
