Ecotech Marine刚刚正式宣布了他们的第六代Radion LED灯，所有新的Radion G6可用Pro和带有调整频谱的蓝色型号，并进行了细调。从表面上看，很难像我们在G5中看到的G6中的身体变化一样多，但是第六代Ecotech Marine的旗舰礁石是公司有史以来最重要的改进之一。
The refinements to the new Radion G6 can be classified into two broad categories, the complete spectrum and the overall light spread, which seems minute compared to adding more LEDs or more power but there are some big ramifications of these changes. All of the LEDs have been completely revamped with newer generation diodes that have been carefully selected for wavelength peak, spectral coverage, efficiency, and even how their primary lenses works in tandem with the Radion’s secondary lens cluster.
Radion G6 Pro和Blue的最分散变化是，Ecotech Marine已减少或消除了一些较少使用的颜色通道，例如青色和石灰，以及压倒性的凉爽白色。这种改装为Radion G6额外的净空提供了更多的颜色平衡的温暖白色，以及一些更理想的颜色通道，例如430nm Violet，以及新引入的395nm近紫外线LED。
The Radion G6 Pro loses 8 cool white LEDs and 2 x 405nm UVs which are reallocated to provide two more warm whites, four more 430nm violets, and four 395nm UV diodes. The Radion G6 Blue loses eight royal blue LEDs, as well as the four limes and 10 cyans and two UV 405 nm to make room for eight more blue LEDs, six more violet 430nms, four 395nm blues and four warm whites and two extra cool whites to balance out the spectrum.
It’s hard to picture how these changes have affected the overall color and spectrum of both the Pro and Blue Radion G6 using only your imagination. But it’s when you see the lights over a reef tank with live corals that you’ll really be able to appreciate the improvements to how much more of the light spectrum goes towards making corals look great.
The whites are in much better ratios relative to the three different shades of blue. The extra 430nm violets really contribute to to a more ‘Actinic punch’ and likewise the newly included 395nm near-UV increase the pop and fluorescence of exotic coral pigments, especially the blue fluorescent protein of manyAcropora珊瑚仅受到高能波长的激发。
Radion G6 Pro和蓝色光谱的均匀性并非仅来自LED的重新分布，因为扩散已从110度增加到126度，而使用次级透镜簇在光中闻所未闻。您会因为相信新发现的额外15度的差异已被设计成镜头簇而被原谅基本的lens to work in tandem with the 100 aggregated lenses.
改进的光传播几乎消除了the disco ball effect caused by using spaced out LEDs of different colors, resulting in an extremely flat light field which can better take advantage of internal reflection from the aquarium glass. The only remaining reason to use the secondary magnetic diffuser is if you really want a perfect replication of T5 fluorescent lighting with virtually zero shimmer, although the coverage will actually decrease from running a Radion G6 without it!
在Radion G6 Pro＆Blue视频的第一部分中，我们将Radion XR30的每个变体与其第五代前任进行了比较，并且在引擎盖下潜伏着许多隐藏的细节。当我们将每个灯头伸到工作台上时，我们在将它们置于现场珊瑚上之前会感觉到它们时，我们记录了这些发现中的每一个。
We’ll be spending the next few days scrutinizing our corals and two different reef tanks with the Radion G5 and G6 mounted side by side so we can really see the difference between the Pro and Blue version of each light so stay tuned for the second part of our hands-on video where we’ll have some more practical observations of how our corals look under Ecotech Marine’s bleeding edge reef aquarium LED light.
