Superior Illumination
Coverage - Up to 48” of coverage: minimizes hotspots and creates an effect similar to that of a metal halide / T5 combo.
Spectrum - AP9 features a full range of individually adjustable color channels (red, green, purple) that can be accessed via the Kessil app. The AP9 also includes 395nm LED chips, which emit True UVA light for maximum coral coloration.
PAR Efficient - Kessil LEDs focus on these essential wavelengths, prioritizing coral growth and propagation over inflated PAR readings.
Shimmer - The signature Kessil shimmer effect gives your tank a beautiful, natural, sunlit look comparable to the shimmer of a metal halide fixture.
Perfect Color Mixing - Kessil's patented Dense Matrix Array allows us to pack 55 LED chips into a space smaller than a quarter. With 110 LED chips in two arrays, the AP9 has the best color mixing in the industry - no diffuser necessary and no disco-ball effect!
Penetration - Maximum penetration reaches up to 30" beyond the water's surface for most reefs. Penetration can be further enhanced by positioning units closer together.
Advanced Dimming - Mimic natural day/night cycles and lunar phases with smooth dimming down to 0.1%—from a gentle sunrise to the faintest moonlight.
Total Control
Kessil Ecosystem - With two K-Link and two 0-10V control ports, the AP9X can be easily wired to adjacent Kessil fixtures. Lights in a wired group can then be app-controlled via the AP9X’s WiFi connection. A single AP9X can act as the wireless access point for up to 10 X-Series lights and 20 0-10V lights - giving you total control over all of your tanks.
X-Unleashed - Use Kessil’s newly redesigned smartphone app to arrange groups, set schedules, add special effects, and customize colors.
K-Link + WiFi - Multiple-fixture setups can be controlled via individual WiFi connections or daisy-chained together to access up to 32 lights via one master fixture. Don’t want WiFi signals or interference? Turn off the WiFi and control the AP9X with the built-in manual controls or the Spectral Controller X (sold separately).
Full Color Spectrum - In addition to the popular Tuna Blue spectrum, users can add in Red, Green, and Purple (Violet + Indigo) by using the redesigned smartphone app. This opens up unlimited color combinations for aesthetics while maintaining the performance of the core spectrum
