Kessil Club

This is what it says on Kessil site:The A360 lights are not capable of dimming down past 13%, thus even with the controller, the light will shut off at that intensity.

Is that applies to any version of A360's?

Because on mine (A360WE's), like mentioned above, they turn off at 0% when ramping down.
 
perhaps ramp does not actually ramp and jumps from 15% straight to 0%? or can you actually see the light continue to dim from 15% down to 0%?

One would think it should work exactly the same whether you are setting it manually or ramping.

I'm working on a diy wifi led controller (6 channels to meanwell ldd + two 0-10v channels) and just want to make sure the 0-10v channels will work with kessils.

I didnt paid attention to subtle change. I will check tonight.


EDIT: Although I remember seeing the numbers in the controller going down from 15, 14, 13, 12,.....1 to 0

I have full Apex and If I go lower that 12% on color they shut off even if my intensity is high enough. I run mine from 10am to 10pm from 0-90 back to zero. Max light is about 3 PM just like the sun I have Lps and sps they all seem to like it, I have one mushroom on the bottom who's not happy but that's the only one.

I got this info from another thread.
I guess the bottom line is, kessil does not control linearly all the way down to 0%. The threshold seems to vary from fixture to fixture.
This chart says intensity minimum is 12% and color is 20%

I took pictures of 20, 15, 10, and 1 percent intensity (color is 20% consistent), but couldn't tell the difference. Brightness histogram didnt help as well because the spikes from the shimmer/shadows. Maybe next time I should turn off powerhead and pump, then focus on a solid color. Ugh.
 
ok mixed reef sps lps clams nems 40 breader
have 3 A160we on a 40 breeder running bluefish controller
like a lot
but

or leave alone.
I'm staying with kessils so no need to tell me t5 halide I'm old school and have moved to led and I'm sticking all the way with THIS BRAND ,until I've decided old school is better or not.
just trying to select the best combos
any suggestions welcome
 
I haven't had a chance to try storms or cloud cover is that an apex thing or a kessil controller thing
