Radion G5 Spread and Mounting Height - Raise the Light Increase the Spread.

How do you increase spread from your Radions in a Reeftank? We use our Reefapalooza tank in Chicago to demonstrate how much of a difference increasing the light height can make when lighting the tank.
Remember that as you raise a light:
• Spread increases
• PAR decreases (unless you increase output intensity)
• Light spill (light outside of your tank) may increase.

I don't know about everyone else, but after having 2 Radion G5''s on a multi-light track for a year, I find the light spillage into the room to be an eyesore. If it's a living space you will have light projecting into peoples eyes when they are sitting in chairs or glare on televisions etc. It's also quite bright so the whole room is bathed in glowing blue/white light. I'm going to mount these into a hood with holes cut out for ventilation for this reason.

Privet! Good one!

bought a mount for the gen XR15 gen5 5 and it has a massive sag/bend in it. Why is this still a thing in 2022?? How do I go about getting a mount that hasn't got a 15degree over bend in the RMS arm?

Cannot get the rail to slide all the way through to the end So the cap can install

hi ; why most people who owns radion g5 set them up higher than 8 inches from the water, beside getting more spread why is the main reason?

[@harborfabrications5046]

Does this work for the older generations too? I’ve been trying to save up for G5’s but can’t get caught up lately. So stuck with first gens

[@EcoTechMarineUS]

Yes! - Pretty much any light source will increase in spread with distance - however it does reduce the light intensity and spill.

@@EcoTechMarineUS thank you! And thank you guys for all your dedication and hard work making a quality product. I ordered a Mp40 recently and I’m excited to get to try it. Just patiently waiting for water box to ship it
