Description of Kessil A160WE Tuna Aquarium Light

The Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun LED Aquarium Light comes with two control knobs. One knob is used to control overall intensity and the other knob the 6,000K/9,000K LED spectrum mix. You can tune a preferred color within the spectral range thousands of research and testing hours determined to be the optimal spectral points. In addition, you can control the A160WE with the Kessil Spectral Controller (a separate purchase). This version is designed for use with planted aquariums. 40 Watts: Effective light equal to a 175 Watt metal halide. Variable Color Temperature: Using the color spectrum knob on the top of the light you can tune the LEDs to your desired color temperature. 6000K? 8100K? 9000K? No problem. Can be controlled with the Kessil Spectral Controller (a separate purchase). LED array specifically designed and tailored for freshwater planted aquariums.

Perfect light for my aquarium system

I installed a couple of these lights in a deep 80 gallon show tank and they provide enough light to keep my plants growing vigorously. VERY happy with the quality of light they give off and their durability!

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Too boring

Overpriced: Aquarium Lights

These lights are very expensive for what they offer. I wanted a Freshwater 125 pendant light. I couldn't get good lighting without two of these or one of the more expensive lights. The possibilities offered by this lamp are also extremely simple.

Pros
  • Finally Bought
Cons
  • Little Things

Beautiful lantern for fish and aquatic animals

About five years ago I bought three lanterns for my 150 gallon aquarium. They worked very well. A bulb burned out after three years. I bought a new one in 2020 and it's significantly cooler than the old model. Love the shimmering effect. Definitely got the colors out of the fish

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Modern

Kessil: the best freshwater aquarium light!

I purchased this Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun LED Aquarium Light on Revain Prime to use in my new 32 gallon freshwater aquarium. Lighting is critical to a successful aquarium and Kessil has the best reputation in the business. I am using this light with a Kessil controller for automatic use. I bought a Kessil 90 degree stepless mount. Both the controller and mount are also available for Revain Prime. The flickering you see in the attached video is a hallmark of Kessil lights. This is great gear…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • I will add later
