Which Chinese black boxes?Marketing was destroyed when they showed Chinese black boxes had better performance
This BRS is having a sale now and they are $782 a piece. Like they are out if there minds. Im sure they are good lights but I would rather have radions.Tried to come out the gate at the Radions price point with no history, where the Radions have one of the strongest reputations in reef lighting.
You know this because you ran them and then had to get rid of them because they couldn't perform, or do you know this from data on testing ? Just curious, as I have no experience with them. I was just really close to choosing the Sky's over the Radion XR30 Pro's. Looks like I made the right choice.If you watch the latest BRS videos on lighting, other than the "horizon to horizon", large panel style, the Sky is everything OPPOSITE of what they're talking about.
The spectrum is narrow. Like, really narrow. Narrower than a lot of cheap Chinese lights from Amazon that cost a mere fraction of what the Sky costs. In order to widen the spectrum to something reasonable, you have to turn channels down so far as to make your really expensive light worthless for actually growing anything even moderately PAR demanding.
It's harder to market that than to just forget it ever happened. And now the same company also owns Ecotech and AI, so...

Everything they make is over priced.Im an apex fan but those lights are so overpriced.
Odd we don't see much on Neptune sky these days ....... Is Neptune upgrading the light or getting out of the light business?
If orpheks had a wider lens they would probably be one of the best light out. Ive done quite a bit of research on them. But for my application in side a canopy they are just not going to work. They need a really high mounting height or a ton of them dialed down to really work at under anything less then 14". What changed my mind on them was a tank I recently saw in person. The lights were mounted in a canopy, there was so much disco and light separation it kind of made me nauseous and I like shimmer like from a kessil. The owner of the tank had redone 1 of his lights (or3) with a different lens a little wider then the original and a completely clear shield that had a great look and light was well blended at 12". I dont want to lose a warranty that way.Everything they make is over priced.
If I was spending this kind of money. It would be Orphek hands down.
Orphek is the only light I’ve even seen on a tank that literally made my jaw drop. When I build my big tank I’m swapping out the reef brites on my 8 bulb ATI Sunpower with 2 Orphek bars. Gonna be sweet
I have a single Quanta light and its amazing.Everything they make is over priced.
