I bought a pair of these a year ago. I love the simplicity of this light. When I was installing them on the tank, I read that they should be placed 5' above the water level. Thanks for verify the intensity for me. Basically, the color control is from our eyes and has nothing to do with the corals. That's very interesting. I am going to go now and adjust the lights and see what happens. Thanks you BRS for all of these amazing videos.

They will only do videos on equipment they sell. With that said, what they sell are mostly good products. Unfortunately, they don't rate the equipment they don't sell which might be as good. That's what I would like to see done by these guys because they really know how and what to test for.

Excellent again BRS! This was some of the best information about the light I have found, specifically the mounting height which is something I have personally struggled with. Thank you for that. The only other thing I would have loved to see covered IS the Spectral Controller. It seemed you guys said it was a "set it and forget it" scenario, but I feel there is definitely space to improve with the controller, or possibly hurt yourself, but it is all depending on the schedule you set. The schedule time/intensity/color combo is the current struggle of most I think. Anyway, love the videos regardless, please keep it up!

fascinating deep dive into a360we... I started off w/ 2 of their lights adding a 3rd which helped greatly with the shadowing effect as mention in your video.

Yep. This isn't limited to Kessil when it comes to LEDs. All of them over rate the coverage area. I personally think that is because most people would spend double up front to get the proper coverage but once they are already have you for 4 fixture, what is 2 more?

I started getting my LEDs, I got one AI Hydra HD 52 from BRS, which I am not sure I should have since kessil and radion are having more reviews. But anyhow I am also considering to get the aquatic life t5ho byo hybrid. Do you have any advise on the lighting and placement for a successful/thriving tank ? Kindly recommend.

Made me feel better about my decision to go with kessil AP700's over radions. If the 360's did that well the ap700's are probably similar in what they can do. I have a 6 foot long and 2.5 foot wide tank and have 2 ap700 fixtures and according to manufacturer recommendations 2 lights are enough but I feel like it needs a third one. Thanks for the video BRS!!! I'll be waiting for the video on the ap700's

Mhm they are indeed Chinese boxes, but the company Ocean Revive has really improved upon the standard black boxes. Comparing to something like a Mars Aqua, this blends so much better and grows pretty much everything. From our small city, the locals have only been able to get huge bubbles on their bubble tips with this light if that says anything. Not saying other lights can't do that, but this one is almost a guarantee.

Great video as always Ryan. With my Kessil 360w's I am having the most luck with very low color percentage and high intensity. 10 color and 85 intensity right now. If I turn the color up it pretty much smokes everything in the tank. From what I'm getting from the video par is not really effected by color right.

Great review Ryan BUT.... you just missed one aspect of the kessils that has been nagging me, and that would be how much higher you could mount the NE version (narrow angle) in order to achieve the same levels of coverage and PAR distribution as a WE at 8 inches. The reason why this is important for me is that higher mounted fixtures provide easier access to the tank. And in my case, given I would want to hang them from the ceiling the higher they are the least intrusive they would be. Would really like to know this one. Keep up the good work!

i love my a360we and a160we's - i consider kessils the metal halide killer. any place you could use a MH - you could use a kessil and do the same thing with less heat. i think the only real flaw is if you only use a single one on a cube tank - you will get shadowing. I went with a pair of 160we's on my new tank (which is a rectangle not a cube) and that has worked out very nicely. there's still no definitive LED t5 killer but your video from a while back about the coralcare lights was interesting in regards to diffusers and I had a few interesting conversations regarding building your own diffuser a few weeks ago. I wonder how far off we truly are from a complete LED solution for replacing the type of light you'd get from a t5/mh setup. would definitely be interested in more research in regards to the mixing of the colors and how this effects corals - i've never been a fan of the RGB Disco effect on most of the fixtures with multiple separate diodes, they all look pretty horrible to me - even the radions and hydras. I honestly feel like if you're going to have multiple-diodes anyway - you may as well just go chinese box light at that point - in terms of how it actually looks, anyway, it's almost no different. makes me feel like half these products are a total joke in terms of price point and value.

I've been in this hobby for almost 4 years. just recently ive begun thinking of replacing all my initial equipment purchases. I started with the cheapest everything. From Dsuny black boxes to a standard 55 gallon tank w homemade 20 hallon sump w hob overflow to cheap Amazon skimmer and pumps it was all the cheapest i could fimd that could do what i needed. The prices are insane. Like i get lights are expensive...at $85/ panel x2 my lights are the most expensive equipment i own altogether. i see how much nicer stuff looks under kessels or the like but I dont quite get why its 10x as expensive? and even more baffling are some ecotech pumps...my ac pump was like $50 and 4 years later not a hiccup. Same wuth my water brand name $100 gyro wavewaker and $45 wavemakers. The big names want 5 or even 10 times more than what some comparable equipment costs. over thd years ive spent a lot of money on coral and j did have a crash that i lost it all. but it was my fault not the equipments. the tank never stopped running and most of the fish lived. i was sick during covid and was topping off with bottled water and not doing regular changes. however im about 6 months back into it nos and i want to replace stuff. starting with lights. a few have burned out, most importantly the ultra violet blues on one panel. i have the 55 gallon which is 4 feet long. ill likely replace it eventually but to light it id need 2 maybe 3 of these...so then im like maybe the AI Prime is more my speed... i cant imagine spending 1500 on lights and losing functionality from the 165 lights i had. that pretty much rules out kessels for me. its either ecotech or ai for me...seeing as the footprint of my tank will lilely change before id buy new lights smaller led modules like this are the better option... But somebody tell me why their pimps are so expensive please? after lights I'd buy a controller...apex. why are cheaper ones crappy?

All of them grow coral and produce an eye pleasing color pop for the most part. I've found that shimmer and specific coral fluorescence we want to target is more of a personal opinion and some lights differ in what they offer. I think it's worth heading to a few LFS or fellow reefer's tanks to get a first hand idea of what you personally like in shimmer. I will say that a large amount of the reefing community has dubbed the Kessil as having the best shimmer. :)

I have a JBJ 30 RL right now but I am upgrading this fall to a 60 cube 24x24x24, Would the A360W-E have enough light penetration to light a 60 cube? I'm looking for a light that I can use right now on my 30 rimless and still be able to use on my 60 cube when I get it. Debating which light to get, 1 A360W, 2 A360N, 1 AI Hydra 26 HD, or 1 Radion XR30W. Obviously Cost and output are the two main factors and I'm looking for the best ratio of performance per dollar. I've always been attracted to the natural shimmer lines of the Kessil units, but I just don't have any first hand experience with ANY of the units that I'm currently considering. I'm currently running a 150w halide with 14k phoenix bulb, It has 2 PC bulbs but I don't use them because I'm making the switch to LED soon.

I am defiently going to reconsiderer now!. They looked sharp as hell mounted to the wood!If I were to mount o the wood I would have it rest on the side of the tank, you know like the strip leds. I decided to wait until july 4th for my lights hoping for some good sales but dont see any..Bummer on that! Also Defiently need to check out more youtubes of this light because I have heard people say that the blue isnt very deep and very windex blue and rRan made a point about not being the best color pop and the shimmer gets a it crazy for me. I know I dont care really for the abplus or what ever its called beacuse its a little to blue so it is scarry that I am going to pick out something visually appealing and may not grow my corals as well, if at all! LOL Thats what safe with kessil. . I know most people turn up there blues and down the white and very little onother colors so maybe I will have luck with that, now that i have thrown kessil in the game how will I ever decide? LOL Then if I go with radion which was my initial choice before my tank crashed! LOL I dont know whether to go blue or pro because even though i dont like a crazy amount of blue I like that they added cyan and lime, so maybe I could just tone the blue down a bit! Wish I knew an LFs that had them up and running in Tampa which is where live so I could check them out!

For a 60x60x60cm tank, would I be better off with two A160W or one A360W?

With a 25" tall tank should I go with the wide angle or narrow angle lense?
@BRStv
@BRStv 4 жыл бұрын
We'd suggest the wide angle lens in your case. Usually, right around 30-36" tall is where we'd start considering the narrow angle lens.

Hey what about the aqua illumination hydra 52 and 26 HD they are very popular lights would love to see par levels and recommended intensity and spectrum since ai lights don't offer build in plug and play option you basically have to play around with it and hope for the best lol

So I have these kessils with the kessils controller. My question is, Is 5% color in the controller means 95 to 100% blues ???? I currently have then at 30 % color and 50% intensity. I would like to know bc i would like to go lower in the color and higher in the intensity thank you

No Problem Aiden glad it was helpful. So yes I worked up to that intensity over time and after BRS's video I will move my rock of Zoas in the center-upper area of my tank making room for more SPS. I now understand why those Zoas haven't brighten up but are multiplying like crazy as they soak up all that PAR.

I run a 9hr lighting schedule with 72% of the time spent at or below 50% is indicative of how powerful these lights are over my mixed reef aquarium. After watching this video, I adjusted my lighting as follows: Time. Color Intensity 1300. 0%. 25%. (4hrs) 1700. 5%. 50%. (1hr) 1800. 10%. 75%. (1.5hr) 1930. 15%. 80%. (1hr) 2025. 25%. 55%. (1.5hr) 2200. Lights Off

Any chance of some info on the iLumenAir v2 lighting rage please? i'm finding nothing on line and cant get the lighting right for my 120L tank. Alas a Kessil is currently out of my price range, as much as i'd kill for one. (I wouldnt actually kill, maybe give a really nasty chinese burn or something.)

BulkReefSupplyCom no worries, it's not one of the most used lights so I know it'll not be at the front of the testing list heh. Hopefully I can figure it out in time!
