Selling a brand new Vipar Spectra 165w LED Box - only turned on to see if it works. Zero hours of use. Comes with hanging kit (it's rather short, cannot hang from a ceiling). Dimmable and has a timer. Two channels, 1 blues and 1 whites. Great color and strong. This unit requires only one power cord, unlike others where it takes two power cords to turn it on.

Changed my mind about going LEDs going to stick to my T5's.

If you're in the Los Angeles area I would be open to trade for some softy or LPS corals. PM with what you have :).

Otherwise, $110 shipped.

Thanks!

Just upgraded my "black box" light to a used Kessil a few weeks ago. My opinion is 100% YES it would be worth the difference.

For those who don't want to break the bank, I've used these before and they're great. For the price, it's a great product.

Kessils and others come with great features, a long withe price.

Completely agree. I was lucky enough to find a used Kessil A350 for $115. I will say the difference in color, shimmer, intensity and the "pop" of my corals after installing the Kessil have been very dramatic. I was happy with the black box light, until I replaced it. Just my opinion.
