Aquatic life hybrid: kessil 360 vs Radion xr30 g4 pro

[mrpizzaface]

In the process of planning, specifying and building a system with a display measuring 84"x27"x27".
I am planning on using two 36" aquatic life hybrids fixtures attached to a motorized lifting system. I can't decide if I should use Kessils with the fixture or if I should use the Radions. I currently have 8 Kessil 360we lights, as well as 4 Ecotech Radion xr30 g4 pro lights. I plan on keeping the lights high (12"-16") off of the tank to minimize shading. Which LED (of the two listed) should I choose.

I cant speak for radions as I've never used them. But I have used kessils with the aquatic life fixture and that would be my choice in lighting do you have an apex or controller to control everything?

I do have an apex controller. How many kessils do you think would be appropriate? I was thinking 6.

5 or 6 would be good.

I like Kessils but their major drawback is...cables (link cables, controller cables). It’s the only reason I stopped using Kessil light. Otherwise I love the shimmer and coral growth. So Radion would be my recommendation.

I plan on having my lights in a canopy so I am not too worried about the cords. I am leaning towards the Radion, but I am not sure why.
