So according to Kessil their A350 LED is supposed to be a higher wattage cross between the 10K Sky Blue and the 20K Deep Ocean Blue Actinic A150 that they make.

Kessil says that white all the way up equals the 10K and blue all the way up equals the 20K. Both channels at 100% equals the 15K Ocean Blue.

I went to a Frag Swap today where many people were showing their corals under the Kessil A350.

When I asked to see the light with just the blue it looked more like the 15K.

I own a Kessil A150 20K Deep Ocean Blue Actinic LED and it looks much much bluer than the A350 with Blue at 100% and white at 0%.

Has anybody else noticed this?

I wanted to get an A350 but only if I can adjust it to be as Blue as my 20K A150.

To me it dont look like they get as blue as the 20K but on paper it does. i have 6 of the A150's on my 125g 3 15k and 3 20k. I have them split 15,20,15,20,15,20. and with this set up the 15K over power the 20K and i think that is what happens on the new A350's also

I'm not sure if their kessil was defective or if they really just showed you the blue on. To me the kessil a350 with just the blue channel on is like Royal Blue LEDs, way more blue than a 15k is like their A150 Deep Blue (I have owned both).
BTW Their colors temperatures are a lot bluer than MH an T5s, both channels on are really like 22k.

The white while off doesn't go to 0% so your not just getting the blue channel.

Mine is very blue! I keep mine 50-50 split @50-60% and it's looks similar to a 15-20k look.
