OK SO DRUM ROLL
BLUEFISH controller now installed
here is my review:
PROS: running 3 Kassil A160WE on 40g breader
Bluefish controller finally arrived hooked it up fairly simple even included 3 cables
blink controller to Iphone and set wifi also hooked up to iPad
set the programs and intensity and color per easy set up
IE: morning /midday /evening/night
hit go and wam does what it is supposed to
you can also have clouds/ rain /lightning on demand and set it up to any where in the world to follow
that locations weather sunrise sunset etc really cool
also moon cycle
ok
CONS:
with Kassil lights the storm lightning just sucks
can't dim down less than 10% with out it shutting off (Kassil Controller does from 100%-0%)
I thought there would be more controllability and time spots to ramp too but you get
Time to turn on, Morning ramp time, intensity / midday ramp time, intensity / evening ramp time, intensity / night ramp time, intensity, time to shut off ( kessil controller 6 points)
ok so far that all i got.
Have to see what happens all day tomorrow .
Report back then ;):D:rolleyes:

[Darryl]

ok been a bit and I'm real happy so far with the kessil's and bluefish

 

[Darryl]

very easy controll

 

[Darryl]

ok so i have a question
i am liking the 3 kessil a160we with the bluefish controller
i am wondering if i should use only 2 A160's on outside and put a 360we in center
or swap all out to 1 AP700
i love the bluefish controller

 

[Darryl]

anybody?

 

[ScottMyers123]

If you are seeing good growth with the A160's I would stick with what you have. If you are set on getting a new light then I would get the AP700.
