They had one lighting a 4 ft tank (I’ll get pics tomorrow) and it was doing a surprisingly good job, the spread is really impressive.

Im already drooling, please stop!

did they say how the wifi will work will we need to purchase them for each light or one then link with cables

25% more power seems like a decent upgrade to me. Improved emitters seems like an even bigger win. I have no issue with the price point and since I dont mess with my lights after initial setup, the controller is of no use to me (especially the WiFi).

In regard to the cable, what is proprietary about it?

Couldn't agree more.

After 3 posts it's obvious you have no intention with using these lights so what's your point? Lol, we get it, you don't like led.

Looking forward to seeing these in action. We were pretty set on using a couple AP700 for the next tank but these might work out better.

So I don't actually own a Kessil so I might be mistaken but I thought the whole point of them was that you could control them with "Kessil Logic" and not have to adjust individual color channels? But this model lets you do that now from what I saw on video?

It’s kessil logic + adjustable rgb from my understanding. It should help make corals pop more under certain light - personally I don’t think I’ll ever use those rgb colors on the daily schedule but if I want to show off colors I can dial in certain spectrums to name them look better.

More answers coming in a few hours, floor opens in 2 hours. I’ll try my best to remember all the questions requested.

Peter K, thanks for all the insight, sounds like a great time.

Answer: 1 dongle will work for every light you have so no need to buy them all separately.

Ask if the circuit board is exposed to the atmosphere

Circuit board is not exposed in the sense it is coated with the same plastic membraney stuff as the current 360’s - not sure if that answers that.

By the way, can you guys hitting the booth try and get an answer out of them re;AP700 and external controller support, or if they're just leaving it to circle the software drain @Peter K

The “answer” I got was they are currently working with apex to make it all work so it is coming, interpret that how you may lol but that is as concrete as I could get.

Proprietary as in you can control multiple different groups of lights off of the same plug into the controller - you set up groups of lights but all can be daisy chained together.

Does it use a standard USB cable or is the controller end different? Appreciate all the information you're relaying for us.

I’ll have to check on that, I think it’s standard type c but I’ll confirm
