I used Kessil A350 for 6 months and switched back to my PHX metal halides.

I have been much happier since I switched back.

Much better growth under the metal halides and nice color.

To me, metal halides are a better lighting solution.

Thanks for weighing in, grigsy! There are members of our staff who also prefer tried-and-true technologies, like metal halide and T5, even after trying various LED light fixtures.

The article says they have a 2yr warranty but there website only says 1yr warranty. Which one is it?

 

[MarineDepot]

All Kessils we sell come with 2-year warranties from Kessil :thumbsup:

 

[3S1K]

Thats good to hear. I was confused when their website stated otherwise.

Kessil emailed me as well. Just in case anyone is curious. These are the exact words.

"Kessil Lightings holds a 1 year warranty outside of the USA and has a 2 year warranty if the light is purchased in the USA and stays in the USA."

 

[MarineDepot]

2 Years

2 Years

Kessil emailed me as well. Just in case anyone is curious. These are the exact words.

"Kessil Lightings holds a 1 year warranty outside of the USA and has a 2 year warranty if the light is purchased in the USA and stays in the USA."

Thanks for following up to clarify! :beer:

I just installed three of these "We's" and they're unbelievable. The shimmer is so nice. Love the shadow effect too. Here's some pics.

We do have Will Call, although if you're nearby I assume you already knew that.

We've been discussing the idea of making our office more shopper-friendly for visitors. If you have a vision for what you'd like to see, feel free to reply with some ideas and I'll pass them along to our COO for consideration! :wavehand:

I knew of Will Call. I am always tempted to go when I'm visiting my parents in Compton. OC isn't too far from there anyway. The 1-2 hour processing time for the order is what stops me from going. I'm an impulsive buyer at Lfs....haha
The more products I see the more I want.

Thank you for the feedback!

I hear ya. I'll chat with the team about making orders immediately available. Impulse buying is definitely OK in some instances. lol Might as well take advantage if we can! :lol2:

I remember my couple of Will Calls
1) Ring bell
2) Wait for door to open
3) Get box of goodies
Improvement, nice lobby with some of the new stuff on display.
