Battery Backup For for the Ecotech Radion By Mike on 5/14/13
Mike would recommend this product to a friend
I don't like that the new Ecotech Radion XR30W Pro does not work with the battery backup from the old Radion XR30W led unit so if the power goes out u wont have any lights for your corals and they will die if the power stays off for a wile. I asked Ecotech Marine this and one of their electrical engineers said that The Radion Pro is not compatible with the old battery backup. because of this I don't think its worth getting that's just my opinion.its an amazing led unit but it needs to have a backup power source like the old one does.

so far so good By chefmur on 4/12/13

slowly replacing my metal halides over a 150, the first Radion was the gen 2 and I love it. I am loving the reduced heat and programing options. They make my SPS colors pop, growth is still not sure at this point. I am not sure if the Radion Pro are worth the extra $250 over the gen 2 I have noticed very little difference at this point. However these lights are amazing, I love the idea I can set for high growth during day then enjoy the colors of corals when I get home from work by changing the program.
Very well built and echo tech amazing customer service are worth a premium but not sure they are worth $900., thats why I gave them 4 stars, but I will probably get one more to complete the set over my reef.

Great light pain in the butt software By Jjs on 3/18/13

The light looks awesome and the fact that it talks to the circulation pump is great. The controller software, ecosmart, is a real pain and I have not got it working yet.

Can't wait to get for my other two tanks By Shaun on 2/28/13
Shaun would recommend this product to a friend
I switched from HO T-5 lighting on my tank . Which I thought made tanks look pretty good. But these leds make water look good and corals really pop. When I compare to my other two tanks Which look yellow now. I have had them running for 4 days now and cant stop looking at them awesome set up. Once you get light you should log into ecotech live and watch demo videos will explain how to use and set lighting and time schedule better.

Best Lighting System Yet By Terry on 2/18/13

I've been waiting to buy these lights due to the lack of funds but now that i have them, i wonder why i waited so long. The ability to adjust every light and level is great. Even if you have just started you will benifit from these lights. Great lights. Don't wait like i did.

Fantastic lighting By Jeff Laliberte on 1/28/13

I was worried about a spotlight effect, but that's not the case here. I love the slow ramp up at dawn and ramp down at dusk. They are quite bright at full intensity so take it easy early on ( it has a software option to do this for you if you want, cool ). Compared to Gen 1 and Gen 2 I can't say as I haven't had those LEDs, but so far so good, time will tell.
