I have always love the metal halide look. I feel in love with Jackson's tank and wanted to go "downgrade" to metal halide ever since. Countless warnings about heat issues kept me using leds.
As a led user i have always been sensative to the disco effect. Where you can see multiple colors across a shimmer line. Kessil is about the only light where i wouldnt see this effect as the lights are so clustered together under one lense.
Then i had the shadowing, prettyt much every nook and cranny was shaded and this darkness could add up across the tank.
Lastly spread. I had 3 kessil a360we over my tank 220g 72x24x30 and could not get enough light to cover the whole tank. Getting radions is just too expensive. And with AI i would prob need 6 units.
In comes Mike from Rapid LED. I was able to get 6x onyx led over my tank, use 100 degree optics and raise them 10-12" over tank and this solved all of the issues above. Also his lights come shipped free and free of tax. Includes hanging kits. Can be dimmed and controlled. They bring out color!
Mike heard my issues and told how to fix each one. I love the way my tank looks and didnt have to get metal halides. Here is a pic.I n person it looks much more bright white. This is all at 100%. It VERY bright. The pic doesnt do it justice.
