New Kessil LED Light Design

[swimmatte]

Kessil has announced a new concept design for their LED lighting line.  

 

The current concept has the light ~2ft long and drawing over 100W.

 

Looks like they are considering making a 4ft version as well.

Call me crazy but it sure looks like they have included some sort of WiFi antenna on the right side?

Is this just a concept or is one of these going to be over my tank next month?

wow, a 4 ft light would look nice over my tank. im hoping it can sit on top of the tank than be hung from the ceiling.

I like it... I bet it's going to be crazy expensive!

IME, LED's work best when they are hung and not sitting on the tank. I would be happy if I never saw a manufacturer sell legs for LED's ever again... Unless the legs were 6-8 inches tall. When the LED's are too close to the surface they burn everyrhing towards the top of the tank, dont disperse well, and make the tank feel very artificial.

 

Either way this looks like an awesome concept and I'm really looking forward to seeing more LED's built in this fixture sort of form. I'm tired of the AI's, radions, kessils, etc that dont fit any particular size tank and dont always play well together. This is really the sort of fixture I like! It started with the maxspect, now maybe kessil will pick up the ball?!

ya, that is true, love to see a light that actually look like it was made for a tank. the legs from the picture looks like it could be flipped around. would be nice if they make a hanging kit that you can hook up to the edge of the tank like the kessil 350s, 150s. pretty excited to see the final product.
