I just got a kessil H380 and set it up.
Setup was easy, and I had no issues with hanging it.
It draws about 98 watts using the grow setting, and 96 watts using bloom.
It is visually less bright then what you expect it to be from videos, but none the less super bright. Seriously, do not look at it for any long period of time.
It is very easy to control and with my setup, 20”x 12” footprint, there is very little spillover in the 20” dimension, and clearly more room to grow in the 12” dimension.
It is a very solid light and I am going to be using it with cheato and the sole nutrient reduction method in my 180 clownfish harem tank.
I will be posting weekly updates there.!

Looks awesome! I can honestly say that the H380 was one of my best purchases :)
 
Not so weekly update, cheato has gone from 15 grams to 380 grams in 19 days!
OMG
 
This light is a beast! I have a 24" square to grow cheato in my sump, and my ATS has even been starved out!
