Kessils who has them

[Andrew_bram]

Who has them and what kind of tank are they on. My brother is looking at these for his 120 and is curious about them.

Uh duh.... GWA in FOCO... JK LOL

Above the newest frag tables. 350s

He was wondering what the spread is like on various ones

 

[fishguy69]

We have the 350 Tuna Blue.

I run one a350w over my 30 gallon tank and I've loved it. He could get away with two hanging over a 120 as long as hey are hung high enough. I reccommend them to everyone. Great growth and color out of all my corals.

i ran a 360W over the 6' 180g. 2 of them at 7" above the water would cover the entire tank.

loved the color and growth, works great with an apex or controller. definitely recommend over most other brands of LEDs to be honest. the spread and the light par is very good, and the way kessil overlays the lens' the light isn't as direct as competitor LEDs so the "burning" effect to corals won't happen.

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to let him look at them to make his decision.

Ive seen this one and the light is stunning, the colors and the shimmer effect looked amazing. What didnt you like about them Mike?

Shadows. Purplish grey look. Dim. ...IMO.

That is one thing that drives me crazy about my kessil is the shadows. Limits my spots for corals.

Define these shadows is it lack of punch

Point source shadows.

Exactly. Because the light is coming from a single source it creates shadows from corals and rock that aren't directly under the light.

I saw Josh's lights just yesterday and thought they looked fantastic! Really nice shimmer effect and the coral really popped! I was really impressed!

Even though I don't believe in par as the end all be all I do believe it is a useful gauge to see if light penetrate the water. That being said these fell short on my tank I had 120 par 7-8" below the surface. About 250 at the surface. Then there's the price. You get a knob and a plug for control. So sold at about $25 more and have many more functionality
