I finally stepped up and invested in lighting. I did extensive research on the Company and the Product I Purchased which was the Kessil A360WE LED Fixtures. I purchased two of them. I really like the adjustability of the spectrum and intensity of the lights. Although they appear bright enough, my local Reef Specialist Store near me has the A700 model over a display and they did a PAR reading at the bottom of they're Aquarium. It was real low numbers, like in the 80's range. They have the Fixture about a foot and a half above the Surface of the Water. Being that the fixture they have has the same Wattage output as my A360's I assume that maybe they are the same LED's. I was noticing that because the lights are an intense pin point of light that gives the Aquarium a nice Shimmering Effect, But also creates shadows on the sides of my Coral and Rocks. I further looked into this issue and people are supplementing they're Systems with T5's to get more light onto the dark areas. I do enjoy the look they give, and the corals appear happy right now, but I do plan on throwing more lights on to keep color and growth in the dark area's. Kinda Pricey!!Read full review

Very happy with this light for my saltwater tank. Installs easy and is controllable. I haven’t purchased the controller yet so can’t comment on the functionality of that feature but love the light. If kept higher above the tank doesn’t create too much heat

I have used MH for the past 15 years. ( 500 watts hamillton reef sun.) Decided to switch to led with some extra money i had. Did a lot of research and decided on 3 KESSIL a360we with the controller for my 150 gal reef. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I can not say enough about these leds. Hats off to Kessil.

Reefers know Kessils seem to be the Rolls Royce of Aquarium Lighting mainly associated to their upfront cost. Yes they are expensive initially but for $ per LED they're actually pretty affordable. Other benefits are the ability to fine tune, compatible with many controllers and quality is second to none. Kessils work for soft corals to SPS. I purchased a pair because I was tired of second guessing my second choice lighting and I'm seeing major improvements in growth in just a few weeks on installation whereas I barely saw growth over a year. Everything looks better and healthier. Just look on YouTube there's literally hundreds of success stories. Bottom line - If you want an excellent LED that will give you results - Kessils are your best investment!

Long term experience with this light has been good. I replaced one of my four Kessil's after it lost some of its full spectrum. Otherwise, these lights have been the best I have used over 30 years, including halides and fluorescent. Great penetration, nice color, good coral growth, aesthetically pleasing, positive spousal acceptance factor. The latest model has some appeal in that one can play with the spectrum (ooh, look at the pretty purple reet!), but hey, in terms of utility and functionality, I'll stick with these puppies rather than trading up.
