They are on gen 6 now. Are talking about the xr 15 or xr 30. The gen 6 is a big jump with wider light spread.

I have gen 5’s and are happy with them and they sell upgrade kits for the 5’s to upgrade to 6’s . Curious as to why all 6 gen 4’s went out all at the same time ? Did you do a factory reset on them if they were linked together?

I just got 3 xr30 g5 for my new build...they were like half price of the g6s.. I am only guessing but to save that amount of money, the g6 cant be twice as good

Home insurance claim maybe?

It’s just a option but you might see if ecotech could repair them cheaper then to replace . Unless of course you set on upgrading. Or have a couple fixed and buy a couple new so that it’s not a hit all at once to the wallet . Just a thought .

I got them online from an Australian seller Reef Underground in Queensland. They were $850 AUD so $544 USD... I just looked and they are now sold out. For XR30s these are super cheap for a new light. I have friends coming over from Oz in a week and they are bringing them over for me.
