Hey Micromax,
Well I got my ecotech radion today!!! I gutted my hood and installed the light very similar to how you described. I got some industrial strenght velcro and a pice of styrofoam. Entire install took about a hour. I left my fans in running on stock timer. These lights are incredible. Thanks for your videos!!!

ps I did leave rsm lens in to protect light from splashes and humidity seems to have no effect

Any word on light testing with or without rsm lens. I have my radion up to about 50 % percent now with the RSM lens on and corals seem to be adjusting well. I really couldnt be happier with this light no problems at all.

Micromax,
Now that you have had your Radions running a few months, can you provide an update on how they are working out for you? Did you run into any issues with humidity having them in the hood? Are you still running at 50%.

Thanks
