For the price, it is still a waste of money. There are plenty of inexpensive and more powerful LED grow light on the market. BTW, Kessil is not among the top 10 best LED for plant growers. Go figure.

Love the debates, but until you try one out....don't knock it just yet.

The best take home message of these studies is that refugium works. (actually, large refugium works, look at the size ratio of refugium vs display size).
In terms of lighting, higher power light works better.

I have a Kessil on my refugium for matter of fact, so I get that cover.
And the result is no different than my 100w led.

This is true...you need a large refugium to be affective.

Try this $39 led, it blows the kessil out of water

Is that kessil a halo2?

What is the par value on that light? It probably works great seeing how it says 138 watts.

For horticulture lighting, the light spectrum has been studied so long and so in depth (very big market compare to aquarium) that there is no magic spectrum and no secret.
Everyone use similar spectrum, the competition is more power and lower price.
If you ask around, serious plant growers choose other LED with higher power, more coverage and lower cost.

You are right, it is about power to $ ratio, more power, cheaper, the better.

Fr example, for $77 shipped, you can buy a 9 band full spectrum 270w LED: (430~440nm, 450~460nm, 610~615nm, 620~630nm, 650~660nm, white, IR , UV 380~400nm, 470nm)
Kessil H series LED is no where near that.

Here's a couple specs on the H380 in the thumbnails. If you are going to have a refugium, make sure the light has strong par.

Currently Kessil and AI are getting together and will be plotting against dz6t. ( i'm going to stay out of it) lol.

please take a look at this comparison for plant grow lights

You can see where kessil stands.

As consumers, we have the right to know what our money actually buy. What is wrong with AI?

Thank you for the chart. I actually saved it in my notes for future reference.

You told me you liked max spect better now.

 

[blasto_master]

I always had an algae problem until I did two new things. A) got 2 kessil H380 B) purchased 3 marine pure bio blocks my tank looks insane now.

 

[dz6t]

I know your tank looks insanely good [emoji4]
