A friend of mine is the Canadian distributor for these new LED fixtures. The company is based out of California. Product is made in China however was developed in the US. The lights are CE certified which is great. The lights have all the bells and whistles, come loaded with CREE LEDs (3 and 5 watts). They are controllable via an Iphone app (Android being developed shortly). Has thundering effects options (gimmicky, but always nice to see). They are dimmable as well.

Best part are the prices. Comparing them to Radions or other high end units, they're very competitive with pricing.


Has anyone heard of the company, and if so, does anyone have any info on their units? I'm looking forward to seeing them in person as I'll most likely be changing my existing LEDs for one of these units in the near future (budget permitting)

I have never seen them in person but their website doesn't scare me off :) and they do have a warranty. Did you see these are coming with 5W Cree XPGs? They had better be dimmable or you'll need to bolt the fixture into your ceiling :)! I couldn't find anything on the drivers but worse case you shouldn't have any problems replacing that should they become a problem. I didn't see any PAR numbers except for the claim of "up to 200 at 24 inches".

My questions would be (1) what kind of drivers, (2) what color of white LEDs are being used and (3) how much control do you have in change the color (can white, blues, red and greens be contolled independently). I definitely would want the ability to control the reds and greens.

Not sure about the drivers, but this is the info I got:
The whites are cool white, same as the radions. Each color can be controlled independently either through the iphone app or on the controller itself. And yeah, they are dimmable, fortunately. It's still new so besides a couple of videos posted online there isn't too much info in terms of PAR values at different depths. They should be arriving in a few weeks though so once they come in Ray (the Canadian distributor) will be doing a bunch of par tests at different depths.
 
Wow, that being the case, those are some really good prices! Keep us posted once you get a look at them.
