Brilliant Color Perfect Size!

Everything you expect from a Radion, but with an output and form factor crafted specifically for small to medium sized tanks.

EcoTech Marine’s new radion, the XR15wPRO is here! The XR15wPRO features the same great spectrum, same features and same warranty as its big brother the XR30wPRO. But with one major difference: it’s smaller. The one cluster design means the XR15wPRO has the right size shape, wattage, and PAR for small to medium sized tanks where the full output of an XR30w  is not necessary.

Right: Sleek and powerful: All the great features that make the radion family the best aquarium lights available are now specifically suited for a small to medium tank size.

Left: Beautiful light quality: The XR15wPRO incorporates the same high output LEDs from Cree, SemiLED, and OSRAM as its big brother the XR30wPRO.

XR15wPRO FAQs

Q: Is an XR15wPRO right for me?
A: The majority of standard commercially available 20-60 gallon tanks (2-4 ft long, 12-24 inch deep) will benefit from 1-2x XR15wPROs vs. the equivalent number of XR30s. So if  you are looking for a new light for a tank in that size range – the XR15wPRO is top-of-the-line.

Q: What is the coverage of an XR15wPRO?
A: Roughly 2ft by 2ft.

Q: Why is the spread almost as much as an XR30 model light?
A: Spread is more of a factor of optics than wattage or clusters. The XR15wPRO comes with  Wide Angle TIR Optics installed standard so the spread from one cluster is not much less than the spread from two clusters. What is different however, is the PAR at the same % output – The Xr15wPRO produces less PAR than the higher wattage multi-cluster XR30 models. The XR15 is ideal for commercially available shallow tanks where PAR at depth is not necessary.

Q: Will the Xr15wPRO work with EcoSmart Live and all of my other wirelessly enabled EcoTech equipment?
A: Yes – The XR15wPRO is wireless enabled and is as easy to setup as the XR30. If you are new to EcoSmart Live please visit our website to see all of the amazing things that you can do with our EcoSmart Live cloud based control platform.

Q: Warranty?
A: Fixture 1 year,LEDs 2 Years.

Q: I have seen pictures of a mounting bracket for the XR30 – will there be a mounting bracket for the XR15wPRO?
A: Yes, In late August/early September 2014 EcoTech will begin shipping the RMS mounting system for both the XR15wPRO and XR30 model lights. Comprehensive information for that product will be provided shortly. If you are interested please watch your email for more information.

Q: I have heard rumors that there will be a freshwater version of the XR15 called the XR15 Freshwater – is that true?

A: The rumors are true – about a month after the XR15wPRO the XR15FW will be launched. The output, price and configuration will be different. If you are interested please check your email and on EcoTech’s website for more information.

Q: What is the MRP of the XR15wPRO?
A: $449USD
