Saw this post on Facebook. Looks drastically improved and noticed the sign says US.

They have a post of FB that states they're entering the US market for 2020.

I had not seen that before, the light from the video looks good, I like the size and diffusion.

The old ones were pretty expensive for what they were hopefully this can bring the costs down on quality lights

Looks much sleeker than the original version. I'll be interested in seeing how this compares to the ATI Straton when both are available.

I really like my orphek, I am curious how they will compare and possibly take the crown of best LED fixture (yes just my opinion!). It's nice to see the flat panel LED lighting continue to progress. They seem have to taken their time entering the US market, so hopefully they bring a solid option.

These are actually V3 not V2, much sleeker design than the V1 and V2 that used an industrial housing.

If nothing else, having a solution directly from the manufacturer of the LED's powering the fixture and not a mix of industry sources is the largest plus in my book. The fact it's one of the largest in the world doesn't hurt either.

I hope V2 has WiFi integration, acclimation options lunar cycles. Safety options, sharing schedules ect ect

Good catch on the CV. @Jeff@CoralVue, anything that can be shared?

 

[Luc Vogels]

I can confirm we will launch our brand new CoralCare (Gen2) in the US.
The launch date will be somewhere early next year and we are slowly releasing more information about the products (controller and fixture). I will make sure this topic will be updated with the most recent information we share. Stay tuned .

 

[hart24601]

Awesome, lots of us are quite excited by this fixture!

What @Luc Vogels said. On a personal note, I couldn't be more excited to help bring these to the states. I think I just found my next aquarium light! White for me.

I agree. We are actively discussing this.
