Kien, did you swap your lighting over?

No, I didn't. I'm still running the same lights I've been running since day one.

Vertex illumina?? I have the 5' 260 and am happy with it plus it looks great.

I have a 6 bulb t5 over a 36x24x12 tank and it's too bright for the corals sitting on the legs. I am going to have to raise it. Think u will be fine with a 18" deep tank

+1. Again, I am not sure why you would even want to buy a new light...let alone an LED light.

If I ever get some extra moola I am going to look into the ati power module led units they look sweet ....dimable t5's and three 75 watt led in a real sleek package ..........a bit of the proven and some of the new a bit pricey though

I saw an 350W kessil lighted ( 2 lights on 120 g tank) and I thought it was the best lighting I've seen especially with the amount of shimmer driver by 2 vortech - although certainly on the blue side ( even with the white only on, it is still bluish white )... see this link when some asked Kessil about par levels:

No need to loan one out mate lots of satisfied kessil users all over the world ... Not going to please everyone ..

Each to there own ....

Just a reminder

Sent a few days ago from kessil USA to myself ..


Thank you for your use of Kessil lights!

We don't have official PAR readings for our lights, as they are not accurate for measuring them. As mentioned in this article (http://blog.apogeeinstruments.com/20...for-light.html), PAR measurements are inconsistent for LEDs, particularly in the blue range. Since our lights are spectrally tuned within a narrow range in the blue part of the spectrum that our testing has demonstrated is optimal for coral growth and color, obtaining a reliable and accurate PAR reading becomes even more problematic. The A150W puts out approximately the same intensity of light as an 150 watt HID bulb.

Thank you again for your use of Kessil lights!
