Orange torch - what do you think?

[williamCreery]

I get it but they claim the photo and video are unedited and under kessil fixture set to 100% blue and no supplemental lighting. Are they completely lying ? Who knows. They tell me the torch in person looks exactly like the video. They tell me they sell 300 torches a month and don’t mess around. I searched for negative feedback and only found one, and they did step up and offered to make the situation right

Sooo I figure let’s roll the dice and see what shows up at my door, and if it’s right, I’ll be very happy. If it’s not, I’ll take it up with the vendor on the side

Sounds like plan! Hope they commit. Best of luck on it. Look forward of a picture on the forum once you have it

I have to see what it ends up being in person, and if it’s not orange, how the situation will be handled

They will argue the fact it looks orange under their lighting.. some gold torches do truly look orange under the right lighting but not jawbreaker orange lol.. it’s just a gold torch

Please take lots of pics when you get it. I'm super curious and hope my son does NOT see this. Lol

I’ll buy a kessil on Amazon and show it’s color under the same lights they have then return the light to Amazon

Omg yea pulsing aptasia is what I need

Mine don’t even need frag plugs, they will make their own out of your largest or hardest to remove rocks, and they are so friendly they will share plugs with your most valuable of corals!

I have a hammer, it was sold as an ultra gold, and the sellers photo it was yellow. But in person it’s more of a pastel orange under the blues. And under whites it’s like a copper color. If I photo it with a lens, it appears gold. It’s close but it’s not like it is in person.

The seller of the orange torch also told me he stopped using lenses because they don’t always capture real life properly. That’s why he got the 4k underwater camera. And when says this is accurate to real life

I just tried all different light and lens combos and I can’t get that light orange hue that I see in person to photograph properly on my hammer

I wonder if that’s what these torches are like…a gold variation that has fluorescence / orange tone

In reality it’s the same exact color as the orange in my plate coral, only it shows up properly for the plate but not the hammer

It's gunna be really hard to get what you see in real life. I can't get it right. If I adjust too far you see all the alge if I don't go far enough it's just blue.

Same as w/orange filter. I could go make a bleached acro I have and make it look orange with a filter and call it a orange blast acro.

Ya I do understand

But I promise you, standing in front of my tank, that hammer coral and the light orangish color on the plate - they match. But for some reason in pictures the plate comes out accurate - like a light orange highlighter and the hammer comes out more golden.

I asked the seller to take pictures with blue lights and a orange filter and he said with a phone camera and orange filter it just comes out gold / yellow and doesn’t match real life. And that’s exactly what’s going on with my hammer.
