New Radion Lights

So the new regular G3 becomes the old pro, and the new Pro swap in newer LED?? Does the new LED have better output??

Yes they have, a lot stronger was told to me.
The buttons on top are backlit so you can see them now, not sure if you going to disable them through ESL they still stayed backlit.
New design cooling fan.
Overall a nice looking unit.
 
It is a nice looking unit.. I am debating between one of these or the AI Hydra 52.
 
I love the upgrade options they have. My lights are a year old now I might is well go from pros to pro g2 lights.

As I said, they are a lot stronger.
I was told the test was done to compare the Pro's on the Pro's2.
If you ran 70% in intensity you had enough with 35% on the new pro's.
I got offered a retro kit for my pro's with the new WAL.
Not sure if I'll go head with it.
I got my schedule on the pro's dialed in and don't want to bring my 150 SPS of balance again.
The took the change from Gen2 to pro's perfect but to make my lights more powerful as I run now to a total for only 4 hrs 65% intensity.
 
Worst part about purchasing LEDs. People tell me MH and TV are bad cause I gotta buy new bulbs every year. But the technology is so new that Radio and other manufacturers have it where u buy new fixtures every year. LEDs are the cell phones of the saltwater hobby. I'll keep buying my bulbs every year.
 
aggr I got a teszla led but I might save up for these but then what do I use the teszla for any suggestions?

Yes, they get upgraded every year and T5 does not get upgraded but that does not mean you have to buy the new light every year.

Old LED's still grow Coral the same as how old Phones will still let you call people.

I mean they do not stop working once the new one comes out.
 
U are right, T5 and MH don't improve because they are proved and can't get any better. The science is bullet proof. U put MH or T5 over your coral in a good system and they will succeed. Leds is not so proven. Some people have success but for the most part, I see led fixtures FLOODING the dry goods sections.

leds are proven been out for a few years now you just have to buy a a quality unit just like t5 or mh.you cant say t5 and mh are bullit proof because there are poor quality units for both that are complete junk just like led you have to pay for what you get.the led you see for sale are mostly the cheap junk .I have had pc,vho mh, t5 now led and with mine I can grow sps on the bottom of my 120g tank could not with a nova t5 or cheap lamp mh again its all in the quality of the lights
 
HAHA, it's funny that this thread turns into "this is better than that"
Well, I had it all T5, MH and now radion leds.
I don't see it at all like a phone or TV, you have to see it as stocks.
Yes, T5 and MH still do their job but there's a reason why we have leds.
Leds have been proven over the short time of years that they been around even in a faster pace as they did with T5 or MH.
Most PPL on here were still in diapers when I was running the first T5 or MH and they were all bad in the beginning but they improved and yes they are still awesome.
Coming back why we have Led's now is that the MH will be on the next list to be banned same as the good old light bulb already is to his way in the history books.
Everyone knows that the light bulbs are not going to be made any more and in the next few months they will disappear of the shelves in the stores.
MH, are next on the list, simply it's costing to much to make them compare to the Led's.
Not sure about he T5 but they will follow soon.
Just take a simple look at a office building, you replace all the lights in there for Led's you don't have to worry about replacing them every time and you cut a large amount of your electric bill.
When I lived in Germany in the 80's they told me when I bought my first BMW that in 20 years they have light bulbs that you don't have to replace any more for most part of the life of the car.................well, almost every new car now have Led's front to back and they last.
And I won't even go into the medical industry.
Just saying that there's is a reason that we have Led's.
