Ecotech Radion XR30 & other LED's Does it worth it?

[Frank@Wall]

Hey guys and girls,

I came across this article and I figured I share it with you guys. I was debating for a while now if i should switch over to LED's and I was ready to spend $1500 on the Radions but after reading this I think I will still stick with my MH and T5's for a while longer. This is not to discourage anyone from getting LED's but it might make you think a little if you decide to go that way.

FWIW, that guy stirs up crap, and in another post admitted he was secretly getting paid by orphek to promote their lights. not to say the radions are all that great (i honestly have no idea), but take that review with a healthy grain of salt.

Funny you mentioned that. I just found this article about that guy.

Whether or not the Radions or other LEDs are worth the $$$ is a valid question with many valid points of view. However, I would not use the Mike Maddox tirade as a means to help you make that decision.
