Kessil A360X PAR Measurements

[ap7x]

Got sidetracked but thanks OP for the par info! Haven’t had a chance to rent a meter so def helps to at least get an idea of par output for my own tanks

Oh and I do agree violet option really gives a new dimension to the looks as well as some par output - curious if you still have the meter and can test with violet included (even if it may be a bit off as mentioned earlier)

Thank you and no worries. I personally think these are great lights, but most people expect them (like many other led's) to cover more area than they can, especially with sps. All you have to do is understand their capabilities and utilize them properly. Whenever I see the Radion vs Kessil post, I just laugh, especially when you count the number of lights they're using. Sps require complete coverage, no matter what light you're using. Sorry, back to the thread.

I agree completely, love these lights and now they got adapters where you can turn the lights 360 degrees to help those sps that may have some shadows.

I took some measurements before I swapped out my AP700's, so I'll have to see where I am now?

Here is 20% clear, 100% violet, 20% red, at 100% intensity...

Yeah, you have to watch the intersections where the lights cross, it can really jump up in those spots.
