EcoTech Marine Introduces the Radion XR30w LED Light

EcoTech Marine is proud to announce our latest product, the Radion XR30w LED light.

True to EcoTech Marine design standards, the functionality of Radion matches its sleek aesthetic. Created with the most discerning hobbyist in mind, the Radion includes top quality Cree and Osram LEDs and features fully adjustable color and intensity.

The Radion represents what we believe will be the next step for aquarium lighting: a smarter, easier to use, and more energy efficient alternative to existing lighting products. Our hope is that our customers will enjoy the extensive thought and care put into the design of every feature, function, and the distinctive appearance of the Radion.

Radion was purpose-built to be upgradeable both through its modular driver and LED cluster design, modular optics, as well as its USB firmware.

Our goal was to deliver a product with the ability to evolve and get better over time"“ and not become obsolete. As technology moves forward, the Radion will be upgraded with new functionality in addition to what it has right out of the box.

Radion is an innovative addition to the EcoTech Marine line of VorTech pumps and aquarium products. With advanced features packed into an efficient and stylish product, the Radion is an LED that looks every bit as good as it performs.

Radion will be available by the end of October through EcoTech Marine's network of retail outlets around the country and will debut at the upcoming MACNA trade show in Des Moines, IA on September 9.

130w's of LEDs is a hell of a lot more than a 250w halide, unless they are using inferior optics which I doubt. Maybe they are just being conservative....very conservative.

$749? Perfect! I'll take 3!

Buy me one while your at it!

 

[sedorusc]

I got this in my email earlier. Was very interested and then I got to the price......

 

[toddmh]

I see EcoTech is sticking with their same pricing model..

Now that I own a soldering gun and soldering skills I am a DIY LED addict.

What happened to that copyright issue that prevented LED aquarium lights from being sold in the US??

I really wish I could afford LED lighting. It has so many cool options/configurations.

I would bet Eco Tech is paying for the OrbiTech patent to have "controllable" LED's over Marine aqariums.

I can't wait to get my hands on the New Eco Tech LEDs.

I agree thats a little crazy!I use Reefbrite leds love them!

 

[SPotter]

I am wondering about the 1 unit per 40 gallons....I am in the process of building a 280 and that would mean 7 fixtures....thats a huge price difference in comparison to what I would spend on AI's.

 

[Jacwil]

Yea that's a ridiculous amount of $ and not a very realistic option for those with larger tanks. I'm sure they're a quality unit as all their products are but sheesh...expensive!
