So I'm very excited this morning. My wife has been pretty good with my recent onslaught of purchased for the aquarium. Basically the lovely woman gave me the go ahead to purchase whatever I needed to make me happ.... I mean keep my beautiful aquarium in running order.

So this morning I get to pick up my Kessil a150w Ocean Blue LED Pendant Light from the post office since I wasn't home Saturday to receive it. Then it's off to Home Depot to get the necessary supplies for shelves that my wife has been begging me to put up in the kitchen and now I have a reason as well to do it since I'm going to hang the pendant off the bottom of one of the shelves. I was originally going to purchase the Kessil a350w Tuna Blue LED Pendant Light. But after speaking to Kessil it was obvious that I would be wasting a bit of money since I would have to ramp down the intensity of the light anyway to fit my needs. I'm so freaking excited I could just bust one of my stiches!

First Thoughts On My New Kessil a150w Ocean Blue LED Pendant.

First off I have to say that I am definitely impressed with the small form factor of this light and the silent operation. It is quite honestly one of the most beautiful pieces of equipment I have seen. The shimmering affect is amazing! But this is just my personal opinion that the 15,000K Ocean Blue is just too blue for my taste. I would have definitely preferred something along the 10,00K Sky Blue unit. Another issue I am having with it is that I'm having some light bleed off the aquarium being mostly that it is a wide angle version. I can remedy this is one of two ways. I can lower the light which would bring it close to the water as well as increase the intensity which gives me concerns in both aspects or I can purchase the standard angle or place a sleeve over the unit to keep the light from bleeding. However, the color temperature is definitely wigging me out and I am exchanging it for either the a150w Sky Blue or the a360w Tuna Blue unit.
