Buying 3 used Kessil a360x's

Reefing102begal · Apr 18, 2023

Hey I talked a deal for 3 kessil a360x's 3 mounts and controller for $725
Lights used 2 1/2 years.
Do you think this is a good deal? Should I get at least another 2-3 years out of the lights??
Please Help!!

Not a bad deal. In theory, yes - but as with any used equipment, YMMV.

The 360x has only been available for 4-ish years, so no way to know mean time to failure. I have had a bunch since they first came out and have not had any fail yet (unlike the 360we where I had a number fail within the first 4 years). People do tend to underestimate usage, but probably $725 is a good deal.

Thank you for the help! Honestly I am going to let it fall through the guy seems a little sketchy and when spending my whole paycheck I want to be 100% safe. He won’t send a picture of the serial number and also won’t take PayPal only cash. So I am left with 0 buyers protection. What do you think. I could just buy some new ones and pay it off.

Sketchy. I’d bail.

Went through on in and seriously impressed by the Kessil lighting. Bought 3 for $700 sold my old nicrew lights for 300. $400 upgrade for high end lighting? Yup.

I love my 360x. I put it on a 14g, don’t have to run it more than 45%. Love the adjustability and love that shimmer! Glad it worked out for you!

Funny you were worried about getting scammed…yet it seems you just scammed me selling me a non functioning light…
