Mazzara P VS Kessil 350A

metalmulisha · 06/20/2012, 09:57 PM

If anyone can drop knowledge on this two leds going head to head please let me know. Here are my specs needed to be covered along with depth

6'x2'x2' wanting to use 3 of each in a hood.

and for a frag tank

3'x3'x 18" only want to use one.

I really like the Mazzara cause you can change the colorations best suited for you. And I feel you can always upgrade the bulbs or replace in the future due to how user friendly the swap out is. Am i wrong for thinking that?

I cant say anythig about the kessil leds but i have 3 mazarra p series and aside from the power supply issues, which i believe they have solved, they are great units and im very happy with them. The controlability is great. The colors are great and my coral seem very happy with it. I have lps, sps and softies. The mounting rails are easy to use IMO. Plus their customer service is top notch. Chris@coralvue handled my issues and took care of it very fast. Its hard to get quality customer service these days.

The A350 can be tuned to the color you want. It just has to be done manually using the knobs rather than with a separate controller.

I think the A350 is best suited to people not interested in the bells & whistles most LED units offer. If you want controlled dimming, thunderstorms, progammable features and all the other things associated with LED fixtures, stick with the Mazzarra, Radion, or Sol.

If you're looking for something more akin to a metal halide, get the A350.
