have two Radion Gen 1's that I had upgraded by Ecotech to Gen 3's.

One of them works perfectly and is over my Frag tank. I control it with my Apex, although that is controllable with a reef link if you don't have an Apex. I have used a reef link with it and it comes right up on my reef link.

The other quit working about a month ago. I decided that I wanted to go a different direction with my lights and didn't send it in to have to have it fixed. Before it stopped working it also functioned perfectly. Now I don't know what is wrong with it. I opened the light and didn't see any oblivious signs of damage. No sign of water damage, the electronics look ok, but I am not an expert and don't know really know what I am looking at, but they don't look damaged. No burn marks, no water marks, no salt creep. I know the power supply is good because I plugged the working klight into it and it came right up and worked correctly. So whatever is wrong with it isn't in the power supply.

I am offering both of these for $340 shipped. You will get one perfectly functioning Radion Gen 1 upgraded to Gen 3 and one that isn't working with a good power supply. You can send it to Ecotech to get it repaired. I have no idea what it would cost, or if it is even repairable, but the power supply is good and I am sure the Gen 3 clusters are good so if nothing else you would have a good spare power supply, not a cheap item to replace, and good spare clusters. I would be more then happy to show the one light working to anyone interested in buy them.

I want to sell them together but there is some else in line if I separate them. I figure $140 shipped. If the other person drops out I will let you know.

When was the upgrade made and what all does it mean? Just the clusters/pucks were switched out? is the power supply, fan and body all the same? Pics would help. Where in Ohio are you?

They put some new electronics in the light, change out the fan if they determine it needs to be, and of course change out the clusters from the gen 1 clusters to gen 3 clusters. I did it 2 or 3 years ago. As I understood it from talking to them it is a Gen 3 light except for the body and power supply. I don't think them do them anymore because their focus is now on the Gen 4's. When I pull it up on my reeflink it says it is a Gen 3. If you want a picture of it working send me you email address and I will send you a picture when I get home this afternoon. I am in the Akron/Cleveland area. If you are local to me I will knock the price down because I won't have to pay for shipping.

Does it show as Gen3 on a reeflink? Is it the G3 Pro or regular?
