Default Switching from Radion pro to kessil a360

Hello all. I am about to sell my 3rd gen ecotech radion pro to get a Cole kessil a360's. Would love to hear from kessil users of their experiences and thoughts with them.

I'm quite happy with mine, the colour range is great, shimmer is amazing, no "disco ball" effect or problems with colour mixing whatsoever. That being said I haven't had any corals under it yet... I've read to take it very slow in increasing intensity.

Thanks. How do you find the brightness compared to other leds?

At 100% it's very bright. I have the A360WE, so it's a bit brighter than the older model. I also have a 30x30x24 tank, so I should be able to hang it high enough that I can run it at 100%, probably 10-12" above the surface I'm thinking.

That's the size of tank my radion is on now but I'm getting a brand new CAD lights artisan ll limited edition 135g peninsula style tank next week. 54x24x24 So I plan on getting 2 or 3 of those a360 with controller. I love the radion but love the look, shimmer and uv of the kessils. Plan on a ultra modern look with them being hung pendant style over the tank.
