rroselavy is on a distinguished road
The new Aqua Illumination rail system. The rep stated that the rails will include end caps.

I am not sure I like the look of the rail system, but appreciate the ability to adjust positions, and the more optimum spread it allows. There are two things I really like about the AI fixture over the Solaris that I own:

1) Dust cannot get into the AI fixture. It is a closed design that uses heat sinks to dissipate heat. The inside of my Solaris is a dust magnet. I am going to have to dismount and disassemble the unit soon to blow the dust out and clean the cover.

2) The AI lamps mix the blue/white colors of the LEDS much more effectively. My Solaris casts splotches of light on the substrate where you can detect blue and white patches of color. Edges of cast shadows under the Solaris often have warm or cool fringe depending on the particular LED lamp that is causing the projection. It is a subtle effect that I have gotten used to, but the AI fixture seems all but immune to this artifact.
