    I don't know man! personally, i don't like the more white led to blue ratio's. Also for that price, you could get AI sols or even a radion depending on which fixture you were looking for. I haven't heard good or bad though. Hopefully someone else has.

    I'm looking for a 48 fixture. Don't want two smaller ones from what I've been reading they say this is one of the best fixtures on the market...but who knows..yes is a little pricey but hopefully it's worth it

    I have a couple of concerns;

    They don't use cree, they is a "Cree like bulb".

    I haven't heard any other quality manufacturer use the term bulb to describe a led diode

    Price is crazy, even for the amount of LEDs.

    None of the really cutting edge items like UVs or full spectrum is in this unit. I can't find a mention of lenses anywhere

    The prize puts it up there with some really proven names/units. I have never heard of this unit or the companies involved.


    That being said I do agree with a few statements they make especially he one about driving less then the max amount through each led. If I wanted to drop that kind of money, I would be the Radeon without a second thought over this unit
