I've had the pleasure of running two Radions over my tank for a few weeks now.
They are pre-production units, but i may be able to answer some of your questions, and at the very least show off a few pics of the Radions in action.
I can say that I have been VERY impressed. I am currently awaiting one more unit, due to my oddly shaped cube tank, so I will then have full coverage. But even with just the two, only my corals on the most outer edge have had some complaints. Everything else has been doing just fine. Before this light, I was running an Aqua Illumination AquaPhoton with one 250w MH and 4 24" ATI Blue Plus.
In comparison, fabulous.
The colors are amazing. I still have the shimmer like with the MH.
And now I can adjust the color to my personal preference.
The units themselves are GORGEOUS.
Gloss black, slim, lightweight. A vast improvement in aesthetics over any other led systems currently being offered. Notice the lack of giant heatsink [cough]AI[/cough].
The fan system works great. Quiet and efficient. The temp of my water dropped.
The unit is controlled by capacitive touch buttons on top. Pretty slick.
A mini usb cable is on one side. You can hook up to your computer to manually adjust the color output off 6 separate color channels, or you can use the capacitive touch buttons to cycle through half a dozen or so pre-programmed color settings. The buttons also allow you to adjust the intensity in very small amounts.
And as noted previously on the interwebs, the plan is to have wireless connectivity to the vortech drivers.
As I mentioned, my units are pre-production so I won't be able to get into too many specifics/features but I'll try to answer questions if I can. I can NOT WAIT until i have full functionality from the completed software and the vortech drivers.
Meanwhile, enjoy a few pics! :)
