I had that happen but they stayed on schedule. Any reason you didn't group them?

Does this light come with the x bracket? If not, do you also sell bracket and mounting arm or the hanging kit?
Mine only had the light, no brackets. I don’t know what package comes with this sellers.

So, are these basically knockoffs of the Radions? And, if so, how do the 2 compare? I ask because I’m using a radion xr30 G6 blue on my 60 nano tank now. But am upgrading soon to a larger tank where 2 more radions (or other similar lights) would be needed, but Im still deciding if there’s something more cost effective out there that even compares to the radion. I already have 1 kessil a360x that’s basically new. So I may just run a couple of those on each side of the radion with reefbrites or orphek bars as supplementals. But again, if these lights come close to how good the radions are, for the price it would be an absolute no brainer. Though, I wouldn’t want the A8se w the Chinese leds…I’d want the CREE ones. Anyway, can you compare this light to the newest radions? Or are the radios completely superior in every way?

Thanks for any help on this subject that you can provide!!

Spectrum wise it did not blend with my G6 blue 100%, more like the Pro instead. You will have to make adjustment to the A8se to achieve a similar result. Par wise seems like it's higher par than my G6. Probably because of lower spread... not sure.

Best approach would be selling the G6 and go full A8se.

a8se is actually exactly the same as the Radion G5 Pro.
they do have a8 pro that's the same as radion G6
we grow all corals under a8se lights in our warehouse.
so far the result is about the same as radion, no difference with the par on both light

do you have any step-by-step configuration process? I cannot make it work with my wifi, I followed all tips on this thread without luck.
Are you selling the A8s PRO, by any chance? I use 3 of them over my 120, but would like to add (buy) a couple more for my frag system.
