Looks nice but what does this unit offer over or above the Sfiligoi Stealth? As this brand's quality is almost unchallegened...? Does your unit offer anything this one does not? Etc..

Hi Pan

The star fire uses different reflector material , cableworks and
also High end ballasts which increases the light output much stronger
We had automatically moonlight and a massive body which is make
of aluminium.
The fan speed is also manual controlable and the Dimmable Versions works with
a new cut off technolgy which protect your tubes and gives a better shelf live

i think the only way to sell high quality lighting is to prove thier quality with proof like par numbers with a certain bulb then thier is facts to prove or disprove claims, not just for these fixtures but any manufacturer making a quality product, shurly designing a new lighting line someone bothered to test them

Well what ever anyone thinks about the price clearly fauna have hit the ground running with this one, looks like the market has been waiting for a high end fixture such as this as the manufacture time is back by 6 weeks at present, first crate load hits the USA about mid march

HI

Hmm you realle thing PAR is all ?
then you need to see what PAR is exactly.
it depends on which place you make the measurement
wich bulbs you use ... and a lot of more.

What for an advantage you have if somebody make an test
see of 2 points higher PAR and the lamp is so worse quality that you
need to buy a new one in 1 year cause the fans are to load or the ballast are in a to bad quality

Believe me PAR is not all if you build a lamp like we do you will see
the light output is perfect as possible.

I will send a lamp to Sanjay that he can say something about it
Test from people which i donīt know and which write for their friends or for
our competitiors will surly not be honest enough to make a reliable test.

well im just tryin to say if you did some test's with whatever bulbs you decided to use(dosnt really mater) and the same test with maybe a tek fixture or an ati maybe if your fixture is actually putting out better numbers and has extra features that others dont then all it can do is help sales,
you might have had one more but without any proof that your light is gonna be better for me i chose to go with something else even though it was more expencive because its a proven performer

Can you share some dimensions on these fixture?

I also second the comments from i_have_crabs. I would be more willing to put down the funds if there were some stats, and/or comparisons on your fixture.

With the large numbers being sold right now I do not think you will have to wait too long to get these answers
