Looselyhuman Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Hey all, I'm getting one of these on the cheap, but I'm generally a 14K or lower guy. Does anyone have (or can take) a few pics showing their tuna blue on the whitest/lowest color setting? Feel free to filter as needed to be representative.. Would be much appreciated!! Thanks 🙂 Edited February 22, 2020 by Hypsophrys Edited title for future seekers of truth Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The whitest setting on Kessil lights is actually 100% "color". It gets more blue as you go lower. Here's a blurry picture of my spare A80. The light is at max color and max intensity. On this setting it still has enough blue that I had to use a gel filter to get it true-to-life. Not the best photograph, but hopefully that's helpful! 😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment

RedCrow Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I can take some photos on a tank for you tonight when I get home if you like I’m the same as you; I like my lighting more white than blue. I’m quite happy with the A80 as I can get a much more “daylight” look out if it. 1 Quote Link to comment

So, it looks like 70-80% white will be my sweet spot. 🙂 I was worried that even 100% might be too blue based on some of the info out there. Hopefully this thread helps others too - I searched all over before asking. Thanks again you guys. --ian 2 Quote Link to comment
