I expect to know by the end of this week when I will be visiting with Sfiligoi again at their facility. I will let you and everyone else know as soon as I get the info.

Hmmm... Looks pretty but what LEDs are they running (Cree makes all sorts or are they another brand using Cree dies as some do)? What power are they running the LEDs at? How are they cooled? What are the PAR measurements?

The LED's are CREE certified XP-G's and available in different outputs. The model at Interzoo was equipped with the 3.3w diodes producing up to 139 lum/watt. There will be a variety of output Astra fixtures available to the consumer. I am unsure of PAR measures at this point but should expect some soon.

Not sure what Cree "certified" means.

Anyhow, so at 139 lumens per watt they are probably actually driving them at 350mA or about 1 watt power. This makes sense because they could not run these at 2 to 3 watts in that housing without overheating. X-PGs at 3 watts would need at least a decent heatsink and preferabaly some airflow too.

I will have all the exact details on this and all the other new models later this week when I visit Sfiligoi.

It is an absolute show piece. The optional RGB dimmable feature makes this a real standout! I will post a video of the fixture in action soon.

Wowzers I think you need to look into bringing these tanks and stands in as well. I love the integrated overflow/return and how the light is attached to that badboy. Cool!
