Review on 🌞 Kessil A80 Tuna Sun LED Grow Light by Christian Poojary

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not half 160

I decided to be a pioneer, but it was too soon. There are videos online of someone using 3 naval models to launch a 120p tank in a macna. Several reviews have mentioned that it is a "half" 160. After getting a 160 at 50% intensity over the tank, I decided to take a chance. The form factor is great. Has the same ports and dials as the 160 and 320. No bracket. The top of the 160 and 320 models have screws so they can be installed in a variety of ways. When delivered, the a80 can only be mounted on a canopy. Without the screws on top you'll need to make a hanging kit through the slots in the heatsink. You can buy a gooseneck for this. Now for the light itself. It's not half 160. I don't have a setting unfortunately, but this light barely penetrates up to 12 inches. This is a problem as pictures of the cone of light posted by Kessil show it can illuminate 24 x 24 inches and this light is in no way capable of adequately reproducing that type of depth, even on fish just without plants.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
