My guess is that they are coming out with a new fixture. Single puck like A160/A360, but low profile like the AP700. This product will compete with AI Prime and Radion XR15 in the Nano/Cube market and also for consumers that uses multiples of them on bigger tanks.
The good news is that this fixture got to be WIFI controllable. That means that it will be using the same app as the AP700. The new version of this app must roll out before or when this new fixture hits the market.
Do I get a fixture if my guess was right?

This triggered a "more you know" moment from me:
They skipped Windows 9 to avoid collisions with Windows 95/98 references in programming. For example, many systems use wildcards like "Windows 9.*" (which is crude regex for "find any string that starts with 'Windows 9'") when determining which platform a computer is running. Terms like "Windows 98" were continually used well after the death of the actual OS as a more general reference to the Windows platform.
It's all the result of short-sighted, poor programming practices... but that's basically the reason for it. Had they used "Windows 9", they likely would have wreaked havoc on an immeasurable number of pieces of software including much of the internet (since many sites depend on identifying the platform you are using).
That's my nerd-out moment of the day.
I'm glad to hear this. I am actually running an AI Prime HD on my Nano 10 since Kessil didn't really have a good option for me due to the tight location its in. AI software is very good, but I really hate the disco ball effect it creates. Any idea if this A80 has wifi?
With Nano's people don't want to run an Apex or a spectral controller. I really hope they added wifi. I will buy one immediately. Could be a solid product for them if it does. If not, its a generation old already....
What do you mean? The G4 has spherical lenses over each individual LED. The Kessil typically has one large lense for the dense matrix.

Yes, it does. The lens on my AP700s seem almost identical to the G4. If you removed the reflector to see only the lens then you would see how it is not just a typical lens. The Kessil has a half sphere lens possibly more. That makes a huge difference in the way the optics performs.

Another tease from Kessil of the A80 about to be released:

I just bought an A160WE for my nano and have noticed something pretty weird. At night with my AP700 I run Deep Ocean Blue (basically 0% on the whites)....but on the A160 when I go as blue as it can go it is not nearly as "pure" of an Actinic. Anyone else ever notice this color difference? Since the tanks are in the same room (our living room so they are both on display) it looks pretty strange. Probably going to return it and hope that the A80 is more similar to the AP700.....thoughts???
I hope this has wifi control...I'm looking for an excuse to get rid of my disco ball...I mean AI Prime

I wouldn't bank on it, though that would be really cool. Looks like it has input/out for the link cable so that tells me that you can control it with the Kessil controller at least.

That's what I meant. Sarcasm just doesn't translate well.
