Has anybody used it? How does it compare to the Radion?

Radion is a great fixture but the f-series will cover a lot more surface area with less money. From Sunbrite "48" fixture can cover up to 120Gal (48"x24"x24") tank"

Sunbrite has done some par testing with the 36" and they saw 200 Par on the bottom of a 65Gal (36"x18x24") tank.

Check out the number of LED's each fixture has


Here are some links on what people are saying

Darn, I just put in an order for a couple Radions last weekend. Oh well, I'll be setting up my next tank soon and I will definitely keep this in mind.

Are these wired in clusters so that if one led goes dead a whole cluster also dies out? I think that would be a major problem. What about replacing dead leds? These fixtures look really nice though. Is there a cloud simulation in the controller?

The F-Series will come with modules, 36=3 modules, 48"=4modules...etc. There are 18 combination of LEDs in each module, so if one module is out you can replace just that. For the storm and cloud stimulations, you can play with with the program using dimming. Also controlable with Idevices!
