Kessil AP9X LED Aquarium Light

The Kessil APX9s redesigned optics provide an even light distribution that blankets your aquarium with up to 48" of coverage. This uniform coverage minimizes hotspots and creates an effect similar to that of a metal halide/T5 combo.

In addition to Kessil's signature Tuna Blue spectrum, the AP9X features a full range of individually adjustable color channels (red, green, purple) that can be accessed via the Kessil app.
  
Kessil Logic ensures that cosmetic color settings do not interfere with the core spectrum, allowing users to dial in a preferred color without disturbing coral health. The AP9X also includes 395nmLED chips, which emit True UVA light for maximum coral coloration.

Par Efficient
PAR measures all visible light (400-700nm) unweightedly, but coral health primarily relies on the 425nm (violet) and 455nm (royal blue) wavelengths. Kessil LEDs focus on these essential wavelengths, prioritizing coral growth and propagation over inflated

Shimmer
The signature Kessil shimmer effect gives your tank a beautiful, natural, sunlit look comparable to the shimmer of a Metal Halide fixture - replicating your own piece of the ocean.

Perfect Color Mixing
Our 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 AP9X has the best color mixing in the industry - no diffuser necessary and no disco - ball effect!

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.

Penetration
55 LED chips in a single array create a powerful light source with wide coverage. Maximum penetration reaches up to 30" beyond the water's surface for most reefs. Penetration can be further enhanced by positioning units closer together.

Kessil Ecosystem
The AP9X can be easily wired to adjacent Kessil fixtures. Lights in a wired group can then be controlled by an app via the AP9X's WiFi connection. A single AP9X can act as the wireless access point for up to 32 X-Series lights and 20 0-10V lights.

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. Turn off the WiFi and control the AP9X with the built-in manual controls or the Spectral Controller X if you want to reduce WiFi signals or interference.

Sleek yet Robust
Not just a box of LEDs - the AP9X compliments the natural beauty of a well-maintained aquarium. With design elements inspired by marine fauna, high performance automotive engineering, and the sun itself, the AP9X boasts a sleek, unobtrusive profile with an aesthetically pleasing touch panel.

Single Arm Mount
The new AP9X Mounting Arm lets the fixture be mounted with a single arm - the most light spread from a single arm mount fixture on the market. The integrated swivel joint allows 60 degrees of vertical rotation and 180 degrees of horizontal rotation. Allowing you to adjust your light to the orientation best suited for your tank (Mounting arm sold separately)

Densest Matrix Yet
The latest iteration of Kessil's Dense Matrix array enables us to place the chips closer than ever before. More chips in a tighter space results in better color mixing and a brighter single point source - just like the Sun on a natural coral reef.

More Light, Less Heat
More efficient LED chips and better heat management result in less energy being lost as heat. This means more light for your reef with the same power draw as before. The AP9X sports a newly redesigned heat sink and an efficient vortex fan that reduces the accumulation of dust and debris - extending longevity and enhancing efficiency
