Default let there be light!

i always dread drilling my ceiling. lots of prep work to ensure something hangs level not to mention in the right spot. i measured 10 times and hung once. i was very lucky to find a joist an inch off from dead centre over the tank so my strip of wood on the ceiling is barely wider than the mitras.

This thing disappears above the tank since my living room has next to no lighting in it other than some dim lamps. The manual was missing from the box but I have had time to just manual tweak the channels.

Currently have blue, royal blue, cool white and hyper violet at 100%. Red 30%, Hyper Red 20%, Green 40% and Yellow 10%. It's very bright and the overal look has more blue than my somewhat flat looking Kessil.

There is definitely colour banding but easily the least noticeable of the LEDs I've seen. The photos also show a pattern like I have strips of light blocking material running in parallel rows above the tank but it doesn't look like that in person and I just quickly snapped these.

Excited to mess around with these more. Love the small size of the unit and the big light it throws everywhere. I easily got light to even all the spots on my rear wall but I was blinding my wife on the couch at that point. Had to move it back to about 7" off the water's surface.

I like it Brett. The rock wall gives it some nice depth in the front view

Where's the Orange-back ... I don't see him in the pics
