You will be better off doing your own DIY led with focused led arrangements. IMO the kessils are not worth the price tag. The diy seems pretty interesting.
As for lights with limited disco effect the radions (used) are better than a brand new kessil. The controls on the 360w is aight.

Thanks for the replies.

Now I'm not sure. I decided on the Kessil simply because of the clean simplistic package as well as its LED functionality.

I'm now doing some research on the Maxspect 20 1/2" Razor R420R 16,000K fixture.

For the owners of the Maxspect Razor, what's your opinion?

I love mine. I have the 20.5" 16k model. Like you I want controllability. This offers the perfect amount. It doesn't have the fancy crap like thunderstorms and cloud cover, but it offers sunrise/sunset and also peak times for different spectrums.

Not to mention it's sleek and sexy as hell!

I was also looking for a 'full spectrum' light when deciding, and this fits the bill perfectly, with it's mix of Warm Whites.

It looks SLEEK!! The hanging kit won't work from my application with 10' ceilings. Looking at the legs.

Can the Razor be controlled using an Apex or equivalent controller?

Thanks!

I love it My tank was not wide enough to use the legs, but the mounting kit is nice. It also comes with the legs of course, or as spit.fire mentioned, the mounting kits for the mazarra work as well.
