Freshwater Planted Aquarium LED Built on Dense Matrix Technology
The Kessil A160WE delivers shimmer and a tunable 6,000K to 9,000K spectrum from a 40W Dense Matrix LED. Two onboard knobs adjust intensity and warm-cool color mix in real time. The fixture covers up to 24 inches of surface diameter at typical hang heights. It runs on 100-240V AC input and a 19-24V DC supply.
Tunable Freshwater Planted Aquarium LED with Spectral Controller Support
Growers typically hang the A160WE 6 to 12 inches above the water surface to balance penetration with even spread. Mount the fixture using a Kessil gooseneck or rigid arm to lock down position over rimless tanks. Pair the unit with the Kessil Spectral Controller (sold separately) to schedule sunrise and sunset ramps for planted aquaria.
