Purchasing used radions

[GOSKN5]

I want to put radions on my reef, but not sure I wanna drop the money on brand new ones. I would need 3 (at least).

Considering some used gen 2 radions, what are the downfalls of used and will the gen 2s be worth it? Assuming they are in good condition etc.

Thoughts on this?

My concerns would be usable lifetime. Leds can last awhile if they are driven perfectly to spec.

The other issues would be the drivers. I don’t know how long the drivers (not the psu) are good for.

I’d expect some serious depreciation on an older light.
