    So I was looking to replace my Kessil 350W with something that has more control over them. I have my own opinions about what I'll probably get but I wanted to get some outside opinions. They're going over the 48" spread of SPS and LPS in my 75g so I want to make sure they have enough power. I was planning on two lights, spaced evenly apart to provide a better coverage. Here are the lights I was looking at, thoughts?





    2x Kessil A360E-W


    2x EcoTech Radion XR15w PRO


    2x AI Hydra 26


    All supposedly have a nice 24" spread, the Radions seem to have more power than the Hydras, and the Kessils are the current version of what I run now, but lack supplemental colors.

    I liked my Kessil A360W lights. I just put them for sale thinking I would try something different. Can never leave well enough alone.

    I know I like my Kessils a lot, very trusty and bright. Just looking for an upgrade you know? /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I just bought 2 Radion gen 3s really like them a lot . I looked at the XR15 it is awesome that's what I would go with if you wanted a change and there customer support is top notch.

    I love my kessil A360W-E I have. I've done a LOT of reading on LEDs recently and it seems like the "experts" recommend kessils.
