    The Kessil Sky Blue 10k Aquarium LED lamp is closer to a 14k than the Kessil Ocean Blue 15k they say. That much we know, but pictures have been hard to find of the Sky Blue 10k over aquariums. Now that they have both been out for a bit, I have gathered a few pictures of 10k that I have found off of 3reef in case you have been curious like me. Hopefully these pictures will help. If you have a Kessil LED lamp over your tank, post a picture so we can check it out.

    Still trying to decide on what LED's I would like to get. I am liking the Blue Kessel's, how many would be recommended on a 125 (72in x 18in x 20in approx). I am thinking three but not sure. Would three suffice to grow corals?

    Nice setup - I still am leaning toward the 15k myself - why do you want the 10k?

    I believe this was the 15k. This tank is a lot bigger than it looks. It's about 3' X 3' X 3' with only one Kessil A150 to light it. Pretty amazing light!

    Mainly because if you look they do overlap on my tank but leave a dark spot in the center of my tank about 3 inches off the middle bridge, and i would use the 10k to replicate dawn and dusk, then id leave it on until it shuts off last at night, the goose neck mounts are really tight as well i suggest working them for 30 mins before installing they like to spring back out so they dont stay put very well
