Gen 5???

[hzheng33]

Not a product review per se but here’s what’s blowing up R2R tonight

Radios Gen 5 to be realeased 2/17/20

Ration Gen 5s will be released on 2/17. Completely new form factor 11.7” by 7”. New heat sink design that feels more like AI than previous Radions. No more pucks, the new Radion gen 5 is more like a Chinese black box in terms of led layout to provide more even coverage. Power has been increased...

If it works, it works. Use that extra cash on corals... which I really need to stop.

It is real

I wonder how many people upgrade every time new lights come out.

I like the the mobius apps a lot.
Can’t wait to see the different between the blue and the pro in person.

From what I understand, the Mobius app will work for some of the G4s currently in use. Apparently they've been shipping with the correct chip for something like a year? This is stuff I've heard, never done any real research myself so please take what I "heard" with a grain of salt.

 

[hzheng33]

there's a video where two reefers had to take the radion apart in order to install the chip and then it will work. hopefully i don't have to do it....

here's the video

Any price yet. I’m sure they’ll cost an arm and a leg

I'm researching building my own lights with a custom led layout.

 

[Adam]

I'd like to get around 24 pucks with 23 to 25 leds per puck. I'm thinking blank pucks and order bin sorted leds. All I want is 4 channels, no need to go nuts with 7 or 8 channels because I won't have any wasted leds that sit at low power taking up space.

I've been in contact with BlueAcro about getting some custom pucks but he hasn't replied in a bit. Might have to look at other avenues.
If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
