Thx
im thinking of mounting the lights on the redsea mounting arms ( max. 11"i guess) reason i like these lights are the minimum light spill... you think this wil work out with the 90 deg lenses?

Yes. One of the major benefits of these lights are the reeflctors. Simple concept and it keeps glare and spill from coming out of the lights. My office desk is right next to my tank...so any annoying spill or glare would be a deal killer. Can't believe the other light manufacturers haven't copied this.
I figured I'd chime in here as well. I swapped my Kessil A500X for the Uno 2.0. I cannot understand how these are not more popular. They put out some ridiculous PAR, 0 disco ball, no cloud connectivity services, a waterproof power supply and the reflectors are such a massive bonus. That Kessil while trying to watch a movie or something, was just brutal on the eyes. The reflectors completely stop that angled glare spillover.
The mount is very simple, it can also be hung. The unit is very quiet, specifically considering the power output. Plus, Daniel is a nice guy who stands behind his product.
I'm going on 7 months of ownership, which is hardly a fair review for reliability or longevity. However, it is a solid light with serious capabilities.

We picked up a Uno 2.0 about a month ago currently running on IM35 and love it. The webserver is solid and intuitive and I know Daniel is always working to improve the firmware. With 9 independent channels it's pretty easy to get lost in spectrum if you don't know what your doing but it's also super easy to load others configs if you choose. Zero disco ball, well blended, great shimmer for non point source LEDs, we'll made with a killed power supply and hands down best warranty out there. We will be picking up 2-3 more for our upcoming 215 build.

Just ordered my Uno 2.0. I had a shipping label created within 30 minutes of placing my order...insane!
Going to be placing it between two Kessil 160s over my 50g Oceanvue.
NOTE! The images attached are BEFORE i place the Uno on the tank, the current middle light is a black box 30watt.

Installed and ready to go… spend 3 hours connecting them to WIFI… that was A pain…
First impression:
Pro:
- no sideglare ! (Owned a xr15 g5 before, compared to it the uno 2.0 is gold standard)
- absolutely NO sound… awesome
Con (sort of)
- that interface… yet it works in the end
- this is blue… i thought i could turn it more white but this is not possible i guess…

Use the Lime channel for more white. It will make a huge difference even in small increments.Installed and ready to go… spend 3 hours connecting them to WIFI… that was A pain…

Going up higher, potentially using 160°, should adequately put par for SPS in all areas.
Can always add a second, depends on the rock layout, size of corals etc. I have a 60" x24" footprint and at 11" off water line I think 3 with 120° reflectors are perfect. Wouldn't spread more than that on my tank.

these lights have so much power, I would hang it higher and up the power.. however starting out I dont see one being an issue.

Thought I'd add a couple Pics, day I installed lights and a recent pic. Dats are June 13th and Aug 1st on pictures. Can see some of the Growth I keep bragging about

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much
So I’ve had a little over a month with the lights now that I got some initial issues dealt with. I’d heartily recommend these lights for anyone. I’m using one over a 22 gallon nano with Acros, a couple Stylos , some lps and a few shrooms. I think the lights are definitely part of the reason I’m looking at live Acros instead of dead ones. Very customizable web app. Two thumbs up.
Works well
