New AI lights coming soon?

[jurgenph]

MyAI app updated yesterday, and i noticed this in the release notes

Support for Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD & Hydra 64HD

i can't seem to find any info on their website just yet.

I just looked and Mine says the same. This may very well point to a coming update to the AI lineup. If so, they have done a great job keeping it quiet, as there is ABSOLUTELY no leaked info anywhere that I can find.

I saw a post about this on ASKBRS Facebook group. Seems legit now!

Just Found this:

No mention of release date, but looks like they have added a couple LED's, dedicated moonlight LED and channel, thinner profile, and more water resistance. I may have to wait on purchasing the rest of my lights to see what these are like.

Typical... Just upgraded my lighting from a photon v2 to quad Hydra 26's..

I can hear it now...
" Well I need to buy new lights for the tank"..
"Didn't you just buy new lights? (Wife) " :mad:
" Well yeah, but there's new ones out that are better..."

Looks like they are trying to get closer to the Radions spectrum if you ask me.

Not really surprising seeing as they are the same company and all.

Wonderful- just 2 weeks ago added hydra 26 units

 

[mattzang]

if you're on that ai facebook group there has been some guy that is reverse engineering the update (idk don't ask me i'm not computer man) and has been posting stuff he has found. new lights and some stuff related to mobius controlling all AI/ecotech stuff, the 32HD looks really similar to XR30 pros, etc. if you're on there go search for his posts "tim soler"

gonna make a thread about it?

 

[bryan brooks]

My buddy is a A.I. distributor he got the email last night.

 

[bryan brooks]

Here is what I was sent

 

[mattzang]

seems odd they'd release them like this?

why not show them at MACNA or something?

 

[bryan brooks]

Very odd

 

[Reefpuck]

Well I was about ready to grab either the HD26s or XR15pros...but I might wait a bit and see how these look. Especially since they'll be at the same price point.

@Porpoise Hork Just curious, why did you make the switch? I have the photon V2 and have been considering switching but for some reason I just like the sleek appearance of the photon and have yet to pull the trigger on anything else. Did you notice any major differences in the light (spectrum, appearance, ease of use, etc.)?
