Sounds like nothing really changes aside from their engineering teams working together, all products remain totally independent. This should help lower costs and allow more innovation. I don't see how they keep a competitive edge if the same team is designing the products.
 
Was gonna buy the pro for a new build I was doing with new house. I guess I'll wait and see what comes out next
 
With them just releasing the gen 3s and them still being seperate entities I dont see anything new , new coming out for awhile
 
I dont know. AI was the only real competition for Ecotech in the LED world. Realistically, I can see it making the AI lights more expensive, to keep price up on Radions, or possibly losing features, to elevate the ecotech brand above AI.
 
Or Reeflink becoming a full blown controller. They didn't put all of the R&D costs and time to develop it, just for it to control their lights and power heads.
 
It would be cool to have some more competition in the controller department. :)
 
During mergers it always starts out as 2 independent companies that transition ( because change is a bad word) into one in 12-15 months. This will probably be no different. Just wondering who will still retain their identity and name. I would like to see the details of the merger.
 
Each, on their own, has already been a leader in their industry. Now, they'll defintely be an industry powerhouse to be reckoned with!
