The difference between the old and new version is minimal. The LED market continues to be very dynamic. Improved chips are continuously coming onto the market, while older components are becoming cheaper. Our company philosophy has always been not to make our products cheaper every few months, but instead to continuously improve them. Therefore, we have always purchased the best available components at the usual price. However, the seriesX initially had some teething issues (for example, grinding dimmers). We therefore decided to fix all of these problems while increasing efficiency a bit by being able to purchase better chips for the same budget. We wanted to make sure that our customers knew that these initial problems had been fixed. For this reason, unlike previous updates, we communicated this product update publicly. This was known as the "new version" or "v 2.0".
In contrast, the seriesX PWR is actually a new product. Here we not only used a few additional chips, but also reworked the entire driver architecture and integrated more chips. This allowed us to increase the power of all models by 33%. For example, our largest model now offers 1,000W instead of 750W.
