Galoot,

Only the W intensity & timer were setup for DimA & DimB.
Was that by choice or simply the alc can't be controlled by the B int & timer?

Thanks very much for sharing your example.

You have to remember this is designed for the aqua illuminations fixtures. So it would be for AI's white and blue channels. The Kessil is designed that way, so "W" is all that is needed "B" does nothing as there is nothing to control.

I bought the 350 two months ago. I actually corresponded with the Kessil sales rep and asked about an interface with a controller, before buying. He could have said to wait for the new version

No it will not, kinda. I put a dimmer on one and it really did not work perfectly and the components from inside were making a load whining noise. That didn't seem like it would make the A350 fixture happy over time.

There was a little incident with a Joe guy here on rc about releasing some info about the kessil A350 before it was released and I think it ****ed kessil off pretty good. Because it seems they have been pretty tight lipped after that. Also the surrounding local fish stores here in the bay area close to kessil headquarters seemed to not have as much info anymore about the lights and upcoming releases. Which is why its my opinion that kessil is tight lipped.

Yes I leaked some info on FB and they contacted my LFS asking about me .
My LFS contacted me and asked if I could remove the post I was shocked !!!
It kinda scared me...

I heard that dealers like selling Kessil because they are price fixed and have an above average margin. Despite that fact I bought them, and so far they seem like nice units.
