    I got this company email me and want me to carry their light, and I found this light extremely like Kessil, but do you guys think it's performance can match it?
    They provide the spectrum graphic but I am not really an expert so I want to see what you guys think.
    It does have some good functions tho, such as WIFI control up to 30 of this units, so for someone using large aquarium might be an option.


    Here are some information

    The picture over the tank is of an ecoxotic cannon and not in fact their product. Simply looks like a cheap ripoff without the Kessil multichip diode tech. Also, there aren't even as many LEDs as the ad shows (44, unless some are sprouting out the side or something), so its all made up. I would advise against carrying these.

    lol ya, that is why I have a lot of concern of this unit, I was thinking maybe it is the same multi-chip like Kessil

    I would ask them to send you one to test out or at less look at before making an order of them.

    here is the what they provided me with their main chip draft

    and with extra 10 LED around the main chip that makes it 40x3w and 120W in total.

    Is the center just a cluster of LEDs? If so then I would advise against it.

    The main issue I see is the color graph stats bridgelux while the statment above stats Cree
    So what is the color spectrum ?

    Yes it is a cluster of LEDs. I thought Kesill is the same? or am I wrong.

    Yeah the unit can be made with bridgelux and CREE and the CREE is a bit more expensive. I can ask them for the spectrum graph tho. I found the bridgelux spectrum a bit too much towards red and green, am I right?

    No, its a multichip LED, basically one big LED but made up of different color tiny emitters. This is just a cluster of standalone LEDs.
