I'm in love with the kessil A160we tuna sun. But the Radeon XR15 fresh water is preying on my mind.
Kessil:
Light £199
Gooseneck £30
Extension £20
Controller £99
Hinging £DIY
+ True point source lighting creating great natural shadow areas
+ No disco that I've seen
+ As small a light as is possible
+ gooseneck or hanging
+ pleasant colour rendition options
- dumb cable design. Mains =1cable. Controller = 1more cable. Link multi units =1 more cable
- gooseneck at extra cost
- gooseneck extension at extra cost
- controller at extra cost
- very basic controller. Due to the limited, but still adequate colour output options, the controller is basic, very basic and feels like a bogo nokia phone from the late 90's. And yes it must be continually connected to the light by a seperate cable
- controller only runs 2 profiles although you can daisy chain multiple lights with....Another cable
Radeon:
Light £199
Hanging kit £30
+ amazing colour options
+ built in controller
+ only mains cable to hide away
+ not too big
+ reef link upgrade £99 wireless (are you listening kessil) control of multiple lights
- disco effect?
- far too much blue (from colour spread graphic) which will need to be dialled back permanently
- too powerful for a non CO2 tank so used at 50% or so? But does allow for hitech upgrade
Question - can you ramp up each colour individually on the Radeon for sunrise - sunset colourations?
Recommendations based on the above?
