I was at my LFS on Monday, and it looks like they received and were selling the new Kessil AP700. I am just curious if anyone purchased them, and how they liked it.
 
I received mine on monday - but don't have a permanent mounting solution figured out for my tank yet and have not tried any function beyond the touch controls...so there is not too much I can comment on...

The build quality is excellent - the touch controls are flawlwss - they don't run hot and the light output is very good.

From the front pannel you don't get the full spectrum control that you get from the app...but I can say he optics have gone a long way to minimizing the shadowing while still keeping that led shimmer.

I've got two running over one end of an 8'x3' tank with all of my old leds (4x120W) at the other and the kessils blow them away with regard to color and output - but most pleasantly surprising is the uniformity of the illumination and penetration - without hot spots - and minimal shadows...I'm at a bit of a loss to explain how they did it.

Sorry I can't tell you more...but so far so good.
