Radion XR30w Gen 5?

[VincesReef]

Might be a little premature but has anybody heard any rumors or indications that EcoTech will be coming out with a new Generation of the Radions this year? Not sure how often or whats the standard timeframe between the G2-G3 and the G3-G4 but it feels like roughly 2-3 years for some reason.

If I had to bet, I would guess 2019 at earliest since they just released the diffusers. To many, the diffusers are effectively the G5. The merger with AI also slowed down the back and forth between AI and Ecotech. Really there is no reason for a G5 at this time. Competition has done nothing to force a change. I would expect other products before any release of a G5. I would also expect a new AI light before a G5.

Product Announcement:
Radion XR30 - 9/2011
Radion XR30 G2 - 11/2012
Radion XR30 G3 - 1/2014
Ecotech AI Merger 2/2014
Radion XR15 - 6/2014
Radion XR30 G4 - 8/2016
Radion XR15 freshwater - 3/2017
Radion Diffuser - 9/2017
