Kessil A360X

“I have 3 point source led lights (kessil a360x) over a 5 foot tank and I wouldn't recommend something similar for 4 foot tank. T5ho or reef brite led supplement will be essential because otherwise only about 25% of the rock work will be suitable for spa. They'll die in their shaded areas.”

“I’ve been running 3 a360x lights on my 210 reef for a year and I love them”

“Scrapped them for an a360x...ended up adding a t5 hybrid to that because the a360 didn't seem strong enough for a mixed reef. With your footprint and doing soft corals, the a360x would do fine.”

“My LFS has A360x's and A360's side by side on one of their displays and there is a noticable improvement in coloration. The A360x is a better light in terms of looks and I think slightly higher PAR.”

“As someone who has AI’s on my main tank, and am going to use kessil on my second tank; I’d recommend getting the a360x. You can start with 2 of them and should be good for your needs.”

“I found Kessil to grow corals fine but coloration is just not as good. Switching to AI made a huge difference for me in coloration.”

“I had a360x (the shimmer is great but kind too much. the par is weak by itself compare to other light) also the orphek compact (pretty good better than the a360x for par but have disco ball effect for sure and the software is hard to use ) no I run the radion G5 pro”

“I'm using a A360X on a 20g rectangle. Eventually I will add some sort of blanket light, weather it's t5 or an led bar.”

“Kessils are amazing lights, love the shimmer, from the unique optics, + the small form factor and amazing quality, and the kessil logic, expensive though haha.”

“I currently have the a360x tuna blue and it does alright. Without buying the wifi controller or the spectrum controller you can't adjust much of the color. It also lacks any royal blue like many of the competitors contain. I Will be replacing mine with a Radeon G5 in the near future because I'm unhappy with the color spectrum.”

“Kessil is basically a “pay for that shimmer” type of light for me. I have two a360x over a Red Sea 350. To me, the form factor was a huge selling point. They just look so cool!”

“We have our tank in our living room with a kessil a360x and find the light it puts out to be pleasant for the room.”

“They are brilliant lights shimmer is great and control is good too but the colours never match when you add multiple kessils together, you end up with bluer ones and greener ones and whiter ones, it really spoils the look of a bigger aquarium.”

“I have 6x of them over my tank, love them”

“anyone else have problems connecting the POWER to the 360 itslef? the connection is NOT positive, like the other connections that push together, in fact it can become unplugged without any effort.”

“I’m using a A360X and H80. Great lights!”

“I have 3 a360x and an aqua illumination t5 hybrid fixture, and the PAR is pretty low, around 275 at the highest point of my rock center of the tank with the most light intersection. I just thought it was because they had crap PAR output..”

“Got my 360x from the LFS yesterday. Im super bummed that I can't control it with my Apex. the added cost for the bracket and the seemingly mandatory controller is something to consider (especially in Canadian monopoly money) when buying a new light.”

“The a360x is the next step up and would serve this tank well. At 450USD, it can be a tough pill to swallow, but I'm sure you've fallen in love with the kessil shimmer.”

“With acropora, one 360x will cover roughly 12" to 18" square area. They're great lights, but because they are point source, you're gonna need more for coverage.”

“I think the bottom line is Kessil sucks at aesthetic illumination of planted tanks. I’m getting ready to sell my A360X Tuna Sun for the same reason. After seeing how amazing my plants looked with a modern RGB lamp, I can’t stand the Kessil’s dull colors. The Kessil emphasizes yellow and brown, which I don’t think anyone actually wants.”

“I just switched from finnex 24/7 to 3 kessil A360WE's. The shimmer and light output is pretty crazy. I just wish the dawn/dusk lighting could go dimmer.”

“They are Kessil a360x ‘Tuna Sun’ lights. It is their reef tank lights with a spectrum for planted freshwater. They work pretty well.”

“I've had mine for about 10 months now and have been struggling with GDA but I was running my intensity ramping up to 80%, 100% peaks throughout the day.”
