    I won a 3600 from the video contest. I might be using an older reefbreeder led with the Zetlight on the new build lol.

    are you a salesperson for them or something? It seems like you have hidden interests. Why would you reveal a "secret" msrp to someone who said they were not interested in the unit.

    Other than that, the spread for this fixture's size is prerty bad, the PAR is fifthed by the time you're 12" away from the center.

    I don't think a new to market light, no matter what the charts say, can be as expensive at the Radeon and expect to sell. Radeon uses Cree versus bridgelux too I believe

    The msrp is not a secret any more , I can release the same week I posted this thread. The only reason why I didn't post additional information cuz I kno their price is not going to make it compare to the price drop of radion. And no, I am not a sales , just I am kind of the only person carry zetlight. However, that being said, I heard a us distributor has established within a week or so. I hope their price will start adjust more closely to our market instead of European market.

    well I finally got to test the unit myself and pretty impress with the unit. I disagree with the small coverage area. I test the light on my 4x2x2 tank.
    First I had it across just as normal so I can see how much coverage can the light cover

    The PAR reading at both sides bottom is 54 which means good enough for soft corals

    I then turn the light side ways so I can see how far can the light cover

    I did the PAR reading again, this time is about 50 again. So I can tell the light can pretty much cover a 4'x4' area for mix reef tank which is pretty impressive as I had it directly on the tank. I am sure if I hang it higher it would cover even more ground, but would sacrifice the PAR intensity.

    Just to complete the PAR reading a bit more. Right at the middle (about 26" from the light) it is 192
    The 4 far corners reading is about 34 when light at the regular position.

    This reading are not that high, but if consider this testing is only bare bottom, if with 2-6" sand bed, the reading will be higher, I am pretty sure it is about 200 at middle on the sand
