Radion xr15 or xr30?

RudyinFL · 09/21/2018, 03:27 PM

Looking for some input on new lights. I have a 120 4x2x2 . I was looking at 2 Radion xr30 pro's. However from what I see 4 Radion xr15 pro's would be the same amount of light and be a little more flexible on location over the tank and even usage down the road. Any input would be great negative or positive.

I prefer the four XR15s if you do not have to spend any additional funds for RMS mounts or diffusers, it all adds up and gets expensive.
Reason why I prefer the XR15s is that their fan is not on 24/7 unlike the XR30s and also you can position them with more flexibility as you alluded to.

I went 2 xr30’s and wish I would have done 4 xr15’s

Thanks for the feedback. I posted this on a couple of sites and the consensus seems to 4 xr15. So that is what it will be. Thanks again for your input. :-)

Definitely the 15's, I put three over my 80gal and love it.
