Default Radion VS Sol Spread

Ok so here it is. All are mounted about 8 inches off the water.

1 Sol Fixture on 80% power



2 Sol Fixtures on 80% power


1 Radion on 80% power

to they almost have the same brightness,I think to help better replace the far left Sol fixture as exactly by the Radion fixture and that should help you better at comparing simply by the pictures you take.
I am not sure about either of specs sheets on these fixtures, type of LEDs max power to individual LED and how many LEDs in each fixture and pricing of course.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Radion's spread. The way people were going on about it I was expecting a noticeable difference.

Based upon the look of the spread, I think you made the right decision....plus you now have $400 extra to spend on other stuff!

The Sol looks more diffused and spread out more evenly and the Radion hot spotting.
