This bundle combines TWO Kessil A360X Tuna Sun LED Aquarium Light with ONE Kessil WiFi Dongle, & TWO Mounting Arms. It also includes one K-Link Cable to connect the two lights together. The Tuna Sun is for freshwater aquariums. With an output of 90 Watts, the effective light is greater than a 250 watt metal halide. Each light covers a 30" X 30" coverage area. The Kessil A360X Tuna Sun LED Aquarium Light works seamlessly with the Kessil WiFi Dongle to control the intensity and color mix of the light throughout the day and night. Using the free app and a smart phone you can control both Kessil X-Series lights (connected together with the included K-Link Cable). Having one WiFi connection for multiple lights minimizes wireless interference, leading to a faster, more reliable connection. You can add more lights to the system and control them all with the same WiFi Dongle. You just need another K-Link Cable for each additional light. The app gives users access to advanced manual controls and program customization, as well as the ability to sync groups of lights. Features include full color control, acclimation, lunar cycle, weather effects, and more! The Mounting Arms are for mounting the Kessil Lights to the back of your aquarium. The Mounting Arm height is adjustable, and with the A360X the light can be up to 13 inches from the top of the water and from 11 to 13.5 inches into the tank.

They look amazing
The lights look amazing both the shimmer effect and how sleek they are. It's a little fiddly to setup the mounting arms, for instance, they should tell if the k-cable goes in the end or from below. End would look cleaner but doesn't quite close so ended up using the hole below. They should print the instructions on a sheet of paper instead of gluing it on the bottom of the box.I read the (negative) reviews about the wifi dongle. The only issue I have had was with the setup. First I tried wifi and it didn't work. Then I tried the direct connect, and it got to the last screen then hung. I called support and he was helpful and first we got direct connect working, then the wifi (so you don't lose network connectivity on your phone when interacting with the device). As i said It has worked flawlessly since. You can only manage the lights when you are connected to the same network (LAN). I wish they would make it a cloud aware instead, and just give you a web site to manage the lights instead of an app. Then have the dongle talk to the cloud so you manage the lights remotely if needed.The app is clunky. It starts up with a login screen that gives you the option of logging in with Facebook, Google, or Twitter. I don't want to link my lights with a social network so... I left with having to click "Skip" every single time I open the app. Then it takes 4 seconds or so to connect to the dongle and shows the Dashboard with my lights. When you click on your lights it goes into group management which I will never use. Instead you have to click on Mode button at the bottom of the screen, then navigate to the right screen in the carousel. 3 of the 4 screens are for legacy products that I don't own.I have a 110g tall tank which is a poor choice for a planted tank as it's too deep. EI fertilize. Previously I had 2 x Finnex Ray 2 over the tank and I had some Java Fern doing ok, and Anubias in a life and death struggle with some blue green algae. The Anubias seems to be doing worse and the Java Fern is still ok. I added (floating) Hornworth that I added after the new lights seems to be going ok although they are covered in a dark green or brown algae which I rinse off outside my tank. I added Hornworth due to it's allelopathic properties. Cryptocoryne sp are hanging on but jury is out. Brazilian Pennywort didn't make it(?!), neither did Hydrocotyle Tripartita or Alternanthera reineckii. Still experimenting and have been bumping up intensity from 40% to 100% over the last month in response to how my plants are (not) doing.
