Mixing kessil lights

They can't be daisy chained, the new 360x uses different wiring. (that's why you can't use Kessil 360x w/Apex) You could use both but they would be wired
independent of each other
 
The X uses a USB type C connector, the W and WE used 3.5mm audio connector. The two cannot be daisy chained together. You could certainly use one of each on the tank but would be mounted at different elevations to get comparable PAR and spread (the X will need to be 2.5-3" lower because it has a much wider spread than the W or WE).

Correct. I’m using both 360we and 360x and they have to be run on different ‘circuits’; though both can be run off the new controller. No biggie really. I’ve no particular preference for the X. I think it is not worth the sizable premium.
 
So here is a question. They sell on Amazon a USB type C Cable to 1/8" cable. So could you use the old spectral controller (only 1/8 inch output) and connect the 1/8 inch side to the controller and the usb C side to the kessil 360x?

If you can do that than can you get one more of those usb c to 1/8" cables and plug the usb C side into the other 360x K link port and the 1/8inch side to an older 360xe?
