My post wasn't specifically asking for a comparison on the Mitras vs the NEW G4 - I was asking what are the plans from GHL are going to be to update the Mitras platform. The reason I mentioned Ecotech is they have launched 4 fixtures on the same time scale that the Mitras has been out, with what can only be described as significant global uptake across their platforms, with published scientific papers demonstrating spectrum choices, illumination guides to maximise a reef environment. I could have chosen any manufacturer, Orpetch, Kessel, ATI, and now even Phillips, etc., etc who have been continuously investing RND into the LED market and providing their customers base with enhanced features, lenses, spectrum choices, power reductions.

As a GHL owner of 6 units, plus every other platform they supply, I'm not here to slag off the products or its community, but I feel that it is a fair question to raise within their forums

I want to know the long term plans from GHL as its has been four years since the launch of the Mitras products, and I do not see the same development going into the Mitras product as we do with other Vendors in the same market.

Looking specifically at the G4 - clearly, Ecotech has a larger customer base using their pendents, and the upgrades are clearly directed back at these owners. Promoting a better experience, better footprint, better energy output, better heatsink, with a better colour spectrum for what is the end game maximising their customer's coral health.

As a consumer, that's spent £5500 on the GHL LED I want to know where I invest my money in the future as outside this forum, the Mitras name doesn't bode very well, and why I came here
