Kessil a360 @ 10V / 10% for Moon Lighting?

[housemouse]

Does anyone keep a Kessil a360 on all hours, with a minimum lowest intensity of 10V / 10% (for moon lighting)?

You can, but even at 10 percent these lights are pretty bright. And there is a slight risk of leaving the light run 24/7, even at 10% the lights still get hot, and running it constantly you risk shortening the units life.

Thanks for your response. Based on the first part of your reply, it sounds to me like it could cause coral bleaching?

I wouldn't say they'll bleach your coral, but the continuous photiperiod may cause issues down the road. But in my opinion corals and fish need a dark period. Fish for sleep, and corals for a period of nonphotosynthetic feeding, when they extend their polyps (especially sps corals) and catch food :)
