It’s LED life expectancy is approximately 50,000 hours. ( 5 + years life ) It is a PC/VHO/T5/MH replacement. Heat is radiated up away from tank expelling need for chillers No UV or IR damage light sensitive items. The KR92 designed a programmable timer to control for day light, Blue light & moon light. Actinic LEDs allows outstanding coral growth. Advanced design for a safe and easy experiences”.

unfortunately, it is my understanding that US residents who have attempted to buy this product from Hong Kong are denied the sale, mostly likely due to the Orbitec patent.
I HATE ORBITECH!!! Were they or were they not supposed to be finishing up prototype and specifications of THEIR setpu and be introducing it later this year. Where is it Orbitech, huh, where. I can’t even find it on their website anymore. You know what I might do. I might write into Steven Colbert, letting him know what Orbitech did and then maybe people might know who built the Colbert treadmill and what they have done.
this unit isn’t for sale yet.
i have an ecolamps kr91 (the unit that is currently out) and I’m in the US. NO problem buying it or getting it at all.
There is a movie about KR92,

I emailed Eco a few weeks back, they said it would be under $700.
Anyone got a web page of an international seller? HK or Europe
