EcoTech Marine Introduces the Radion XR30w LED Light

September 1, 2011, Bethlehem PA – EcoTech Marine is proud to announce its latest product, the Radion XR30w LED light.

True to EcoTech Marine design standards, the functionality of Radion matches its sleek aesthetic. Created with the most discerning hobbyist in mind, the Radion includes top quality Cree and Osram LEDs and features fully adjustable color and intensity.

"The Radion represents what we believe will be the next step for aquarium lighting: a smarter, easier to use, and more energy efficient alternative to existing lighting products," said Tim Marks, president of EcoTech Marine. "Our hope is that our customers will enjoy the extensive thought and care put into the design of every feature, function, and the distinctive appearance of the Radion."

Radion was purpose-built to be upgradeable both through its modular driver and LED cluster design, modular optics, as well as its USB firmware.

"Our goal was to deliver a product with the ability to evolve and get better over time– and not become obsolete," said Marks. "As technology moves forward, the Radion will be upgraded with new functionality in addition to what it has right out of the box."

Radion is an innovative addition to the EcoTech Marine line of VorTech pumps and aquarium products. With advanced features packed into an efficient and stylish product, the Radion is an LED that looks every bit as good as it performs.

Radion will be available by the end of October through EcoTech Marine’s network of retail outlets around the country and will debut at the upcoming MACNA trade show in Des Moines, IA on September 9.

Yea too expensive for a 12" fixture.. But its specs are very nice, at least it has some red leds. Not just blue and white like most others...

Remember that you don't have to replace any bulbs so your cost will go down over time.Also it only use about half the electricity,not to mention no heat transfer to water,so no chiller or no cooling fans needed.

yes true. i'm running a 1/3 current on my180g. the exhaust air is very very warm. still tho 11.8 inches for $749. I wish i could throw around scrilla to afford that. I'm in for pics!!!! :xd:

Any Pics on this Lighting Unit?!?!? :tongue:

I guess we have to wait till they show this unit at MACNA.

Knowing Ecotech, they probably underestimate the power of this fixture. I'm guessing if you swapped this light with a 250w Halide and turn it on full power you might just as well throw your corals into the microwave.

We know how the 72w 12" AI modules fry stuff...this fixture is 130w according to the description.

If you can sync it with a pump like an mp10 and do a storm with strong flow or set like a a tide somehow
