There is a post in this thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...readid=1509727

on RC where a member posted the lengths of the fixtures but those have been the only reported dimensions and who knows how accurate they are.

These are rough sizes based on the original design, but we felt it was too bulky and as you can see from the pictures the new and now official design is much more sleak.

Sizes

Thanks.

Maybe let Fauna Marin know they need to update their website - there hasn't been an update on the site since 2007 and they list Aquarium Obsessed as the US/Canadian dealer still.

Fortunately over the past few years I have seen prices come down on lots of different reefing equipment - skimmers, reactors, lighting etc. I think there is a demand curve where over $1000.00 for a 48" fixture and 90% of the market isn't interested. I am hoping these will be priced in the Lexus/Acura range rather than the Mercedes price range.

Yes most of the price reduction has been due to the large influx of Chinese goods, which these are not

The units will be priced to compete, but if you are looking for a Mercedes for the cost of a Chrysler then sadly.....

I agree with this sentiment. And given the current state of world economies it would be foolish to release a light that costs more than or equal to ATI's PowerModule. To be the new guy on the block trying to compete with the favorable reviews of the long-standing PowerModule after having left a sour taste in consumers' mouths with the Ultra Solaris would make for a tough sell.

But I assume Fauna Marin has done the market research and realizes this.
