    I jut want to see you guys' feed back on this ZP3600 model that Zetlight is bringing out.

    The price of the unit has yet to release so here is a list on what I want some feed back on when comparing the "big 2" LED fixture to Zetlight . First the Spec of the ZP3600 is on the contest thread but I will post it again.

    Total: 144w with most of the LED chips made with Bridgelux
    Total length of the fixture: 24"

    AI Sol

    PAR reading is here AI Sol - Performance
    And the price for it is about $400USD and with controller it would be around $480
    About 75w in total.

    Ecotech Radion

    PAR reading and spec Radion ™ XR30w | EcoTech Marine
    And the price from what I am looking at is $740
    Total about 140w


    So after all these info would you be able to give me your feed back on,
    Performance: (Which you think would be the best option for a 24 to 36 inch tank)
    Functionality: (I am not sure how these light are any different when comparing what they can do)
    Cost: (We kno the price for AI and Radion in general, so how much do you think ZP3600 need to be in order to make you consider to be one of the top options)

    Thanks ahead of time and I am looking forward to hear some great advices.

    i don't think that little light can fit more features in it than it already has. but who knos, maybe soon they some how comes up with a small LED timer can control the light also. I just don't see how it can fit in that thin fixture.

    this ZP3600? I am not allow to release the price yet but all I can tell is getting close to the Radion. That is another reason I want to get feed back for Zetlight so they have a better idea on how much the major LED companies are charging and how they should adjust their pricing base on area instead of asking store in NA to match company's price in EUR

    radion pricing??? ugh, good luck with that. No offense to the radion people, but that seems like a overpriced fixture at this point unless it is completely customizable and will work with different controllers. Alot of cool options keep flying out there
