Kessil A360WE, A360x, and A360x w/ Narrow Reflector Par Results...

[Doostur]

Doostur: Thanks again for all the work put into this and posting to help others.

Tonight I was trying to set up a basic light cycle (or find one pre-programmed) where I could basically tell it to turn on at say 10:30am and turn off at 11:30pm with the moon light on until say 1:00am or something. I tried unsuccessfully so at least for tonight I stopped messing with it.

Can anyone help?

I don’t want to ruin this thread on the testing but I thought most people reading this might be 360x owners with more experience than mine with the spectral controller... so please PM me if you can. Thanks much!

Watch below.... Maybe that will help?

Everything else I needed to get my A360X setup arrived today. I set up my schedule along with doing some PAR tests with an Apogee MQ-510. With the light about 5" off the waterline and the meter 6" under water I was getting about 900 PAR on 50% color and 80% intensity, and it went all the way up to 1100 PAR on 50% color and 100% intensity. These numbers are with no extra colors added.

With or without the narrow reflector?

If I remember correctly this is with the reflector (which I’m not using currently). It still puts out some nice PAR without it.

Sounds about right. I had 360NE and the increase over the 360WE was huge, of course at reduced spread but they were very powerful. Similar to the h380 focusing but the lens on those two were a bit different.

Wow, these values are quite a bit higher than @Doostur, why do you suppose that is? Different par meter, could be an issue.
