    After a few days of the United States Postal service giving me a minor heart attack from misplacing my delivery it has finally arrived. My new Kessil a360w Tuna Blue Controllable LED Pendant. I really liked the small design of the Kessil a150w Ocean Blue LED Pendant that I originally purchased but honestly could not get around how Blue the temperature of the color looked. So this light was the next obvious choice. Right from the beginning I was very impressed and just taken back by the size of the unit. Although compact for what it is. It literally dwarfs the Kessil a150w and I don't think its a bad thing.

    The build quality is solid. The light itself has a good weight to it and the controls on the top of the unit function smoothly. I also was able to manage both the temperature and intensity of the light to exactly my preference and wow does it look amazing. My clam and xenia where immediately happy of the new spectrum. Now I just can't wait to order my controller so I can play around with the dimming and intensity capabilities on a schedule.

    Great lamp. You dialed it in nice. Any heat compared to the a150? What kind of controller are you getting?

    Thank you. As far as heat being generated by the unit unless I take a thermal temperature gauge to it I could tell you. The light has been running since 10:00 am this morning and is completely room temperature to the touch, which is the same as the Kessil a150w Ocean Blue that I had. I am planning on purchasing a Neptune Systems Apex Lite controller to get started in a few weeks.
