放射微粒G6最新前沿,flagship LED reef aquarium light from Ecotech Marine which will be formally announced early next week. It’s only been a scant two years since Ecotech Marine raised the bar for performance, efficiency, color, and controllability with the Radion G5 which nearly doubled the number of LEDs in its powerful, tunable light engine so we are curious to learn how Ecotech made their best even better.
To no one’s surprise Ecotech Marine will be offering the Radion G6 in two sizes, the classic XR15 and XR30, both of which will be available in two different spectra, the Radion G6 Pro and the Radion G6 Blue introduced in the last generation of their lights. The power levels of all these Radion models will remain the same at 105 watts for the Radion G6 XR15 and 205 watts for the Radion G5 XR respectively so the improvements are more nuanced and will be less noticeable by just looking at the physical fixture.
The most obvious change between the Radion G5 and the yet to be announced Radion G6 is a noticeable tweaking of the overall spectrum to offer users the ability to tune their lights to be more and deeper blue in both models. The Radion G6 Pro and Blue now include more near-UV LEDs of the 405nm & 415nm variety, the number of violet LEDs (now called 430nm) has doubled and new to the Radion G6 platform is the introduction of deeper 395nm near UV LEDs with four diodes of each in the Radion G6 Pro and Blue.
更具体地说给G6 Pro失去我的30%ts cool white LEDs and gains a touch more of the warm white LEDs – the cool whites were always more than sufficient for giving the Radions all the nutritious PAR to grow the most light-hungry corals, while the buffing of the warm white channel should introduce even more balance to the blue-heavy spectrum and hopefully give more color rendition to pink chromoproteins of popular Pocilloporids such asStylophora,,,,SeriatoporaandPocillopora。
Meanwhile the Radion G6 Blue edition is likely to be a real sweet spot among contemporary reefers with the most comprehensive blue light spectrum ever offered in a reef aquarium LED light. The ‘controversial’ and seldom-used Lime and Cyan LED channels are completely gone to make room for三十二宝蓝色和蓝色的LED和我们最喜欢的紫罗兰色/430nm LED的大量凹凸。
The violet spectrum most closely approximates the actinic spectrum that many of us fell in love with long before LED lights were even a possibility for growing corals. The resulting color shift reduces much of the greener wavelength but doesn’t really affect the standard green, red, and daylight spectrum but it enables users to add even more and diverse blue light to the spectral curve pictured below.
The other major improvement to the sixth generation Radion G6 is a new and improved LED lens cluster which increases the beam angle from an impressive 110.5 degrees all the way to a staggering 126.3 degrees which is normal for a primary optic, but unheard of in a secondary lens. This breakthrough in the spread emanating from a thoroughly collimated light source was achieved by carefully matching the primary and secondary lens and with the wider beam angle you don’t just get better spread but users will also benefit from improved light mixing.
通过这种几乎高斯的分布,Radion G6实际上达到了较低的峰值值,但是在非常宽的区域上,Ecotech Marine声称的总体强度更高,只能使用单个固定装置将光线抛光四英尺的水族馆!我们期待看到这种几乎水平的光线为我们自己传播,应通过使用水族馆的内部表面作为被动反射器来帮助我们指导我们珊瑚所有侧面的光子能量和整个珊瑚礁储罐的光子能量。
我们已经可以感受到了利用最高架子性能和匹配价格投资这些灯光的Radion G5用户的焦虑,但是我们可以确认Ecotech Marine将有从Radion G5到Radion G6的升级路径。由于大多数radiong6machine主要是不变的,唯一的硬件差异将仅在LED面板和镜头群集中,而Radion G6 XR15升级套件的价格为199美元,而Radion G6 XR30升级套件的价格为399美元 - 这不是一个微不足道的新成本的新成本。轻,但是当您考虑到有one hundred (XR30中的LED和两个LED分解为每二极管4美元。
当然,Radion G6将与所有现有的配件兼容,包括辐射安装系统和次级辐射扩散器,这些配件仍然会刺入光线的底部,并在框架中内置了磁铁。The newer Radion G5 freshwater will remain with its current spectrum and features as this light was officially released later last year, the dual lunar LEDs introduced in the Radion G5 will remain in the Radion G6 as well and it’ll be mostly the same flagship LED light from Ecotech Marine that many of us have come to regard as simply the most advanced LED light for lighting our reef aquaria.
An official announcement about the Radion G6 is expected from Ecotech Marine early next week and the Radion G6 XR15 and XR30 will still be priced at $499 and $949 respectively. We are eager to get our hands on the latest Radion G6 to carry this platform into its 12th year of service powering our reef aquariums and we’ll be sure to do our signature deep dive into everything that is new and noteworthy about the flagship light from Ecotech Marine.
