Hi all, I am looking into upgrading my current light which is a SB reef light 16 inch WiFi extreme but to what? The biggest problem I have with the light is over spread. It is on an IM20 about 10 inches off the surface and it literally light up my whole kitchen. Looking for something that won’t do this but give me adequate light for lps, and soft corals. Any ideas?

Not sure of tank dimensions but this should do you.

A single AI prime 16 HD can illuminate a 24" square space with enough light for lps. I have 2 of them on my tank and they are more than enough. Have them turned down half way actually and they have very little light spill 10" off the surface.
