I bought a older Kessil light the A360w.
I am looking to get a controller for this light but I'm not sure if there is anything? When I look online I can only find a controller for the newer A360W-E. Could anybody help me thanks

You can control it with an Apex

The "w" version only have two controls, color and intensity, so the first gen spectral controller will do the job. If you're going to add any "x" versions, then getting the spectral control x will control both "w" and "x" versions, as there's a separate 0-10v control port. You'll use any standard 3.5mm audio stereo cable to connect the "w" versions to the controller port.

Where could I buy one of these first Gen spectral controllers?

This may be the "x" version, but at this price it's a good deal.
Would the "x" version work at all?

Yes, there’s a built in 0-10v port for legacy lights. I’ve actually used both “x” and “w” lights together with the X controller. If you don’t have any x version lights plugged in, you’ll need to use a power supply to operate it. The 1st gen controller comes with a power supply, unlike the X version, which runs off of the “x” fixtures.
