SuncrestReef Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 FYI: If any of you are considering the newly released Radion G5 lights, be sure to do some research and read the reviews. I've been seeing more and more bad reviews. This one is a good detailed example: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/going-from-radion-g4s-to-radion-g5-blue-initial-impression-and-two-week-update.705286/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyInside Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Seen a lot of complaints too. I almost bought a pair but decided on some G4’s with a t5 hybrid. So far probably the best light setup I’ve had yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InLikeFlynn Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 There also seems to be an issue with the plastic cracking being reported by many owners: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/cracking-radion-g5.706240/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Sent from Atlantis 🤙 I thought my Radion XR30 Pro Gen4’s were really good lights, but I just didn’t like the side glare from them. I’m really surprised to see the Gen 5’s appear to be this bad. Poor manufacturing, unacceptable QA, buggy software, and cheap packaging. Either they rushed this product to market, had the project budget slashed, or the design team lost all its good people after Gen 4 was released. Just seems very odd to me.
