Pendant lights

[Kzguns]

Is there any other manufacturer besides Kessil that makes pendant lights like the A360?

There are a couple knock offs that can be found on amazon. Never used any of them (being a huge kessil fan)
Not alot of reviews, but maybe worth looking into :)

This is the more popular knock off, it's almost an exact copy of the kessil

SBreeflight offers some as well.
Zetlight had some I belive but don’t offer anything of similar power to the kessil in belive.

I see that, the S Bomb, those must be brand new?

The Zetlight UFO specs say it is the same power as the 360, 96 watts.

Appears they’ve been around a while I think, just not well known or perhaps loved. Lol

Interesting options. I might take a look at the $199.00 one but that's getting close to Kessil prices. As my wife said, oh don't be a cheapskate lol worth a look tho.

I have a LFS that sells Keloray lights. I think they are $100 or so cheaper than kessils.

Lots of pendent options out there. Amazon is a good way to find the cheap ones but DIY is also simple with par38 bulbs

Is there any reason you would like a pendant specifically? Is it just a looks thing or is it to light a certain tank footprint? What type of tank is this fixture going to illuminate? I've found that with many pendant-style LED lights (or at least those that use a dense matrix of LEDs clustered in one spot) the blending always left something to be desired. There was usually visible color separation.

Would a black box work in your situation? I picked one up for just over a hundred bucks and have been exceptionally happy with the growth and color.

Yes it’s in our living room and the wife doesn’t want a clunky box light, her words. Lol
