    ha. That price change was within the last 20 minutes. I was just looking at the AI Sol for $530. Good deal, obviously trying to compete with the Radion. ;) :p

    Or maybe AI is coming up with Gen 3, so the gen 2s are cheaper because they will become obsolete.

    That would not make sense Seano. The radion is over 700$ as opposed to an AI which is 530. Why would you spend over 200$ more for a smaller less powerful fixture? Just saying ;)

    You are correct they are releasing a newer AI which has no name and is 100% wirelessly controlled. however the AI SOL will not be obsolete but rather the mid range led...I have heard however the SOL still has better penetration, I will post some pics soon of the new model. You cannot go wrong with the regular sol at that price.

    Oops. AI just kept their mouth shut while they were making a unit comparable to Radion. :p

    The sol was 75 watts. The radion is 130w.

    Oops! I read it was 30.....:p
    Still, I think the radion is uglier than an AI.

    The AI sol is a brick. lol. What's sleek about that? I don't particularly like the look of the radion, but I like it better than the Sols.The AI nano and the phoenix look nice though.
