toybox22 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 New Kessil A80 for nano tanks. Neptunes Aquatics in San Jose has a prototype running over a Fusion 10. Awesome little light! Go check it out! Link to comment
theatrus Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 15 chips, 4 phosphor coated, 1 with a different substrate (from the close up in the video). I don't like the flat disc form-factor though - I always like the "bullet" look of the Kessil. Link to comment
toybox22 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I think for a nano tank, the flat puck style is nice. It's also dead quite because they got rid of the fan. And from what I've been told by Kessil, they've been able to keep anything they wanted too under it. Link to comment

Pricing will be interesting... Link to comment
gus6464 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I see a big reflector a la AP700. Good job Kessil. Link to comment

Again, from what I've heard, it's supposed to be under $200. And I think it might include the goose-neck. Very friendly for new people to the hobby who want a light they can grow whatever with.

holy carp Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Safe to assume the 0-10V controls intensity and not color? Link to comment
toybox22 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Safe to assume the 0-10V controls intensity and not color? Has the same control as the A160 and A360. So both color and intensity. Link to comment
gus6464 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Price is $139. That is some insanely aggressive pricing. Link to comment
supernip Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 take a pic of the prototype plox Link to comment
Aquathumb83 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I wish I would of heard about this sooner. I would of waited and not bought the SB Reeflights Sprite. Kicking myself right now. Link to comment
braaap Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Price is $139. That is some insanely aggressive pricing. Shit at that price I'm getting one for my sump. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 wow, how does this compare to AI Prime? That's really aggressive for the price. Link to comment
toybox22 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 wow, how does this compare to AI Prime? That's really aggressive for the price. I've never seen an AI Prime in person, but I feel like the A80 will be weaker. The A160/360 is more of a competitor to the Prime. take a pic of the prototype plox I included a pic, hard to see though. I can get a better pic next week, if the boss allows, when I go back to work.

streamline.by.design Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 We got pricing at the store this week. $129 - $139 for the light and $25 - $29 for the gooseneck. Should be available next month per Kessil. Check your LFS, they may be able to include you in a preorder, but i'm being told they are going FAST!Sweet looking build. Link to comment
Sancho Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Saw it today. It's got that sexy kessil shimmer. Mid October according to the rep at macna Link to comment
supernip Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I wonder if it'll be available at macna despite the official launch date Link to comment
gus6464 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Off the bat it will blow the Prime in spread as it has a big reflector on the thing like the AP700. This is going to sell really well. I will take some pics of it tomorrow at MACNA and post them up. Link to comment
gus6464 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Look at that huge delicious reflector! Link to comment
Sancho Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I wonder if it'll be available at macna despite the official launch dateno I tried today. Link to comment
