Will it come with a diffuser plate? I know they slightly reduce par but do diffusers also reduce shimmer?
They definitely reduce the shimmer. When I sold my Radions, I removed the diffusers so the buyer could see the difference. I had forgotten just how much of a difference the diffusers make until I removed them. The so-called disco effect (color separation) was far more noticeable. I much prefer the diffusers. I didn't care for the price of them, but I was happy to have them installed simply because I didn't feel nauseated after looking at my tank for an extended period of time.I know they slightly reduce par but do diffusers also reduce shimmer?
Hello,
Hmmmm yeah glad they got the hint to change things, but still not gonna buy them. Other larger companies have just out paced them, they have better lights and much better prices. I still love the idea of if it’s not broke then don’t fix it. Unless my lights just explode, there is no reason to spend 1,000 a light. If one has money they can light on fire sure why not. Those with a budget, may not be so inclined, (that doesn’t mean those who make much less either). Still hate the fact how expensive this hobby is, totally ridiculous.

Same, can't take it without the diffuser anymore. But that's what bugs me. The diffuser is basically required for such high end light that it should be included in the package already. But they're still selling it separately, basically upping the already high price.
Let me know!!I have 3 up for sale next week once I break down my tank with diffusers and rms mounts
No more pucks, the new Radion gen 5 is more like a Chinese black box in terms of led layout to provide more even coverage.
I understand what you are saying but to compare these to black boxes is laughable. I have 8 black boxes, they leave a lot to be desired. I also have 12 Hydra 52 fixtures and they are significantly better in all aspect to the black boxes. I plan on moving to these Radions as my budget allows.
Look at the density of the LEDs, it is way tighter than any black box. How about the reflector technology? Ecotech has continued to develop their own optics with several generations behind them. Do we really think they are going to abandon all those years of research to just slap some LEDs on a board? Beyond that, black boxes are made of cheap components, plagued with corrosion issues, and are just slapped together. When I am done with them I literally give them away. The only thing these look to have in common with black boxes are that they are black, are rectangular in shape, and produce light with LEDs. That could be said about any rectangular shaped led fixture. I'm all for progression and simplification of lights and I'm pretty sure Ecotech put significant effort into these. I can't imagine a scenario where they decided to make their lights worse.
Good Question, perhaps we will learn more come the actual release date.OFF topic. Does the new Mobius app work with G4 version?
Not in its current release form. But yes on the testing side it does.OFF topic. Does the new Mobius app work with G4 version?
I could use 6Anyone looking to unload 3 G4 Pro's let me know
So what happens when a single LED burns out? No more replacing a single puck? Is it fixable? Repair cost? Is it trashed?
So should I sell my new bought ReefLink? hahaNot in its current release form. But yes on the testing side it does.
You buy an old working unit here and replace, vicious circle for brand loyalty.Anyone? Ideas?
