Yes. At minimum, each EB832 strip operates 8 AC sockets. You can have all of them on a single EB832 ("Config A"), but it's better to stack lights functionally ("Config B").
This is what I recommend and actually use:
- I use Config B below.
- I recommend Config C with all wifi for the Kessil 360_ series lights, and controlling the Kessil 160 x2 using abrupt but lazy EB832-controlled AC socket ON/OFF output.
These are all the options in detail:
Neptune EB832 "Config A":
- Simplest deployment
- Highest use of individual sockets (perhaps wasteful of sockets)
| ac_socket_0 | Kessil 360x |
| ac_socket_1 | Kessil 360x |
| ac_socket_2 | Kessil 360x |
| ac_socket_3 | Kessil 160 |
| ac_socket_4 | Kessil 160 |
| ac_socket_5 | Kessil 360we |
| ac_socket_6 | |
| ac_socket_7 | |
Neptune EB832 ("Config B"):
- Less use of sockets
- Within maximum power window of single socket
- Use an AC power splitter to split a single socket into additional sockets

Kessil Spectral Controller X "Config C"—NOT Fully Compatible
| Kessil Spectral Controller X <===> Wifi Dongle | Wifi dongle 0 | Kessil 360x |
| Wifi dongle 1 | Kessil 360x |
| Wifi dongle 2 | Kessil 360x |
| Wifi dongle 3 | Kessil 360we |
| Neptune APEX VDM or Kessil Spectral Controller X <===> 3.5 mm Splitter | 3.5 mm output 0 | Kessil 160 |
| 3.5 mm output 1 | Kessil 160 |
You can also deploy Kessil 360x and 360we onto normal AC sockets use Spectral Controller X with wireless:
Wireless Control of Kessil X Series LED Lights Program your Kessil A360X, A360XE, and A500X Lights wirelessly! If you have a single light the WiFi Dongle will plug directly into the K-Link connector on top of the light's housing, which will let you connect directly to the light with any Android...

You will need 0-10V cords for the Kessil 160, however. You can then either connect the Kessil 160 lights to the Kessil Spectral Controller X via the appropriate cable:

Perfect for Kessil H80 and A80 LED Lights The Kessil 90 Degree Adapter will work with any Kessil LED light that uses link cables and has minimal clearance around the control port. One of the ends of the cable has a 90-degree connection, instead of straight. The other end does still have a...

Neptune Apex <===> Kessil 160
Use the Kessil A360/A160 Neptune Apex Control Cable to connect your Kessil 360 (A360N/360W) or A160 LED lights to your Neptune Systems Apex controller. Specifications Type 1 - compatible with Neptune Systems Apex controllers Length: 6 Ft. (1800mm) without connectors Color: Black One End: 1/8"...

Control via Neptune APEX VDM (Config D):
Each of lighting intensity and lighting spectrum requires 1 VDM channel. If you only care about intensity or only spectrum, then you'll only need 1 VDM channel. There are 4 VDM channels on a single Neptune APEX, configured as 2 VDM sockets. Though there are cables that produce 2 3.5mm VDM outputs using a single VDM socket, these can be sketchy sometimes. In my experience with different products, sometimes this doesn't work well, possibly due to cable used.
Though there are 4 VDM outputs, there are only 2 physical VDM sockets on the Neptune APEX.
VDM_1: For lighting intensity and lighting spectrum
Neptune VDM socket <==> Split to 2 3.5mm <==> Split each 3.5mm to 6 sockets (1 per light)
There is a product on BRS available out-of-box; however, it has a few concerning reviews. In the past, I've used the product, and some worked and some did not. You may risk one of either lighting intensity or lighting spectrum not working if the cable is poor.
The cleaner solution is to produce your own 3.5 mm -terminated cable using this:
2 Channel Cable to connect two separate LED color channels from your 0-10V dimmable LED light to the Apex System or the Advanced LED Dimming Module – VDM. This cable has a RJ45 plug on one end and bare wires on the other that must be connected in the manner recommended by your LED manufacturer...

Make note of the wiring instructions. From the reviews on BRS, it appears non-standard / backwards.
You'll then split the 3.5 mm, 1 for each of your 6 lights:
A lazy option is to waste VDM sockets:
VDM_0: For lighting intensity:
Neptune VDM socket <==> Split to 2 3.5mm <==> Split each 3.5mm to 6 sockets (1 per light)
VDM_1: For lighting spectrum:
Neptune VDM socket <==> Split to 2 3.5mm <==> Split each 3.5mm to 6 sockets (1 per light)
You'll use a cable like this:
Use the Kessil A360/A160 Neptune Apex Control Cable to connect your Kessil 360 (A360N/360W) or A160 LED lights to your Neptune Systems Apex controller. Specifications Type 1 - compatible with Neptune Systems Apex controllers Length: 6 Ft. (1800mm) without connectors Color: Black One End: 1/8"...

This will work for sure, but takes up both VDM sockets on the Neptune APEX. You can always purchase more sockets, and this is more likely to be a robust design.
Same as before, you'll split your 3.5 mm lines for each of your lights:
