Because they need to sell off the stockpile of Reeflinks first and then they'll introduce the G4 2.0 with wifi for another 100 bones

Did somebody say iPhone 6 plus....The new and unimproved. What they should have done is released the g4 in a xr15, xr30 and ***xr60 with 4 clusters and similar dimensions and coverage as a maxspect r420r so consumers dont need 4 and 5 individual fixtures. Add these gimmicky optics, power borrowing like in the AI hd fixtures (because who uses a full spectrum at 100%) and wifi capability with an app for free in the app store. I'd be all over that.

I have Vortechs and I like them a lot but I was kinda miffed I needed to spend another 75 per powerhead for wireless to be able to sync them, and then another 150 for Reeflink just to be able to set them on a schedule. I mean most people mount the drivers inches apart so why not let them talk to each other with a $10 cable like Tunze does? It's just nickel and diming. AI can put a wifi setup in a $250 light without an issue...

I guess the jury is out but it seems to me the AP700 is a better deal for coverage at this price point.

Don't worry Ray once the dust settles and the air clears they will come to there sense. And the nay sayers will come kneeling before thee saying please let us buy that new light please we beg of thee. Because there is nothing better and nothing compars to it. It is the gold standard. It is a legend Lets just hope this thing can grow millipora

tell us how you really feel :-)


I don't think they are overpriced.

We are talking about the latest and greatest here and when looking at the Xr30 Pro, its only $100 more than the G3 Pro. The extra $100 is well spent.

Its true, that not everyone has $1100 to dump on a single module. Its for this reason they offer the XR30 non pro and Xr15. You can get into an XR15 Pro G4for $559. Not bad considering all the features.

Pricing in general is up folks. The USD has 30 points on us, so it's expected that we will pay a surplus. 99% of all our products are priced at USD x 1.3, in fact, we even have some product lines priced at 1.25 because the margins are better.

Thanks,

Ray

Its a thread about the light but all you guys ever care about is the stupid exchange rate lol.

The light needs to progress past wide angle and tir lense it clearly was not working to keep acropora or at least certain strains of it alive. Any early adopters willing to try it out on milllipora? Let us know
