Really interesting Video! Really am starting to think about getting one of these lights. Would be interesting to know the PAR levels as Spread with both the standard and High Intensity light kit installed! Good job on this
The listing on its China site actually states that A8SE uses China LED/power supply and is based on G5, while the A8 pro uses Cree/Meanwell and based on G6.
Just upgraded from 4ft to 6 ft tank. Have two xr30 gen 4 pros. And need 1 more light Was going to go with either this or the nicrew hyperreef as it is also a very similar xr30 clone. “X” mount works there too. Can’t decide on which to get haha
I’d roll on the HyperReef, personally. It’s a better package. You even have warranty access. It looks a ton like the Radion, too. I’ll be getting one of the Gen 2’s to explore early in the new year.
Good to know the lens works. Will you be doing a Par test with and without the lens? I have three of these lights on the way and will put them on a 220( I also have an old radion if needed). I ordered their version of the mounting bracket, so I'll find out if that works on the RMS Rail. The Black Friday deals were hard to pass up.
Just a warning for anyone wanting to buy this. I burned out 3/4ths of my blue leds on my 4 lights. Probably due to no cooling paste on the diodes. If you get it, please add your own cooling paste
I started using this light as soon as I got it, which was 7 days ago. it is just awesome, tho yesterday i saw hair algae forming on very top of the rock. just wondering if it has to do with spectrum or newfound high par going from kessil a360x to this.
@@devinerapier3776 I run all my color channels on my lighting at 100%. I don’t think there’s much to spectrum and causing algae growth. Could be the high par. I don’t run any coral under more than 300 par.
The Radion defuser fits perfect I use 3 of em
Thanks very much for checking this out for us. Think I might just be ordering myself an extra Xmas present 😂
I look into every alternative option I can! This one is turning out interesting!
waiting patiently for the light over the tank test/look :)
@@islandreef5292 It’ll happen! For now, I’ve mailed it out for spectrum testing.
Great video! Exactly the info I needed! 👍
Glad to hear it, friend!
Keep them coming, good content here. 🤙🏻
Will do, my friend! Plenty to cover!

You’ll get that next video in good time! Shipping the light out for spectrum testing this week!

Can you do a video on how to program the light? I got one and could not figure out why the Auto schedule was not working.
@@stfuwtf12345 Yep, I’ll be exploring that!
