What a difference new lights make.

Very nice! Those are sexy lights.

I really like the arm mount. Are those official straton arm mounts or something else?

I did something similar recently. Out with the old G3 Radions and in with the Maxspect Etherial Infinite.. Was a MASSIVE difference in output.
Have you used a meter to check old vs new PAR?
When i did mine, I had to turn the new lights waaaay down as to not shock/kill what little corals i have

That's a nice upgrade. It looks cleaner and has less equipment. Stratons are great-looking lights. I'm curious about your PAR and coverage.

Found your problem: you have to turn the Radions to "On".

J/k, I love how sleek the stratons look.

Not gonna lie I made a switch from radions to nicrews Nava reefs as a temporary until I got different lights . These nicrews not only matched the output but also they looked amazing . I ended up putting off getting newer lights until these give me a reason too .
