Marine Depot Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I noticed that you have the preorder page up...does this mean you have a tentative ETA for this light? Thank you for your question! Our purchase order system is guesstimating late January 2015, but I reached out to AI just now by email to see if they can provide a more accurate estimate for us. They are usually very responsive, so hopefully I'll hear back today before the weekend. Thank you in advance for your patience while I wait for a response. UPDATE 12/5/14 @ 2:10 PM PST: Still haven't heard back from AI; just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you. I will follow up with them Monday if I don't hear anything today. UPDATE 12/11/14 @ 12:18 PM PST: Still no response from AI as to the status of the AI Prime shipment. UPDATE 1/21/15 @ 3:14 PM PST: AI says detailed information regarding the release of the Prime will be available "in the next couple of weeks or so." UPDATE 2/16/15 @ 10:01 AM PST: Got word today that the AI Prime will likely be shipped to retailers next week at the latest. UPDATE 2/24/15 @ 9:56 AM PST: We received this email notice from AI yesterday, "The AI Prime is being assembled in the Iowa factory. Expect the big shipping notification soon! (MSRP $199 USD)" UPDATE 3/13/15 @ 4:46 PM PST: We received an email from AI this afternoon that stated the Prime is now in transit to retailers and distributors. Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Any updates? We emailed AI as well as our rep from EcoTech to see if we get an updated ETA for you this week. Fingers crossed! Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I emailed AI as well and they told me that they will start shipping out at the end of the month! Just put my Pre Order in today for a white one! EDIT: I ordered mine through Marine Depot Link to comment
B16acrx1988 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm just wondering what the coverage is gonna be like can't find any information on the light. Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi MD buddies! Is this light going to come with a mounting arm? I'm assuming yes. Thanks. Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 saltwatercoral, thank you for the order! B16acrx1988, we're hoping to get our hands on one soon to be able to take it for a test drive. Looking as the specifications, we would expect a coverage of about 18"x18".. maybe as much as 20"x20". en28so, we have asked AI about the mounting arm on several occasions but have not received a firm answer. Since none of their other fixtures currently include mounting arms, we should assume 'no' at this point. Hopefully, more information will be released soon. Link to comment
GavinW Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Will the light be in stock soon? Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Will the light be in stock soon? We are waiting on AI at this point, we still have no definite release date. We are just as eager to get a hold of these lights and will keep you posted as soon as we get the word. Link to comment
GavinW Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sounds good! Just got too excited. Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Got word today that the AI Prime will likely be shipped to retailers next week at the latest. Link to comment
GavinW Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Will you have the tank mount for sale? What is the word about that? I would like to get one too otherwise more waiting to use it! Link to comment

We asked AI about the mounting arm on several occasions but have not received a firm answer. Since none of their other fixtures currently include mounting arms, we assume it's not included and would be offered as a sold separately accessory. Truthfully, we're just not sure yet. We did receive this update from AI yesterday: The AI Prime is being assembled in the Iowa factory. Expect the big shipping notification soon! MSRP $199 USD Link to comment
Eckozulu Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Reefbuilders just posted, hanging kit $19, tank mount $29. Sold separately. Link to comment

Super stoked for the light, but hopefully they send mounting options with the light. I will be purchasing the tank mount as soon as you have them in stock. Link to comment
