I think you'll be happy, they really are fantastic lights.
And it should be stated that I don't not like their boards. I blew out one board when dinking around one night, so emailed the maker for troubleshooting help. We identified the bad component so I could try to find a replacement locally, and I ordered a second light direct from them. When it arrived, the tech had included a new component in the bag. Wonderful service!
Turns out that the first board ultimately had more problems than just that component (all my fault). So I had one working light, and one dead one.
The only reason I "replaced" their boards is that I already had a few of those converters in the lab and figured it was worth trying to revive the first light. After realizing that it worked just as well with far "simpler" input requirements, I swapped out the second working board as well.
So I have no bad feelings about their boards, and love the support I got. I just happened to go a different route that works better for me with the parts I have.
Stratus LEDs are amazing. Give them money.
