Kessil A160we vs A360we coverage area?

Hi, I'm a newember here
Been lurking for a while and I finally made an account.

So I narrower down my light choice to the 2 Kessils above. But the most important thing for me is coverage. I heard that both the 160 and 360 have the same size of coverage correct? If the 360 has wider coverage then how much?

Fyi my tank is 75gal, 48"L, 20"H. I only keep softies and lps, with one birdsnest as the only sps.

Thanks everyone.

I'm not an LED guy...just trying to help.

The bulk reef supply folks say the 160 will cover an area of 12-24" while the 360 covers an area of 24". It seems to me the coverage is slightly better, but not by a lot. The main difference is probably how deep of water they can punch through.

If you don't have a center brace on the tank, you may consider three 160s instead of 2 of either, to get the best coverage. Also, hang them high and make sure you are getting the wide angle version.

Good luck.
