When Kelvin brought the Kelvin Epos 300 ($2,499) to the market, they reignited a (not so old) debate: are RGBACL lights better than RBGWW lights? I mean, there is definitely a price difference between the two technologies, so it's interesting to see if the extra juice is worth the squeeze.

We took the Epos 300 for a spin and put it against the Prolycht Orion 300 ($2,150) - the closest light in the market right now, as well as some RGBWW comparisons. You can probably guess from the title we were impressed. Hit the jump for the rest of our findings.
