I have enough light over my tank for soft corals and some low light lps corals from my 48 inch orbit marine led fixture from current. I want more light though, and i love the shimmer and color of kessil's deep ocean blue fixture. Would two a150's be enough? or would i need to keep my current fixture over the tank? Thanks!
 
kessil 150s will be good for lps not so much for sps, the par drop off is crazy unless its directly under the light
 
You could go with the A160, its a bit stronger than the A150 but you would probably want to either get a third or keep your current light if you want to keep SPS.
 
I have the a160s over a 125. Plenty of light for softies and LPS. I have one birds nest directly below the fixture at the top of the rock work as experiment. It's only been there a couple weeks but its color is good. I can't say if it will do well long term.
 
I have 2 A160we over my 150H (48L×24W×30H), Just staring to stock the tank. The light spread visually is great. I don't have par readings, so couldnt tell you if I am able to grow SPS in certain areas of the tank. If push comes to shove and I see that my coral need more light, I will replace them with a360we's.

I have 2-160s over my 75. I have a couple of Acros mostly LPS and softies. It's only been a couple of month but all are doing well
