The new Kessil Spectral Controller is a simple stand alone device which allows allows access and detailed controls of all the capabilities of the controllable Kessil A360 series LEDs. While it’s been really nice to be able to daisy chain and control color and intensity of a series of lights with very basic color and brightness dials, with the new forthcoming Kessil Spectral Controller users will be able to unlock all of the now-standard features that we come to expect from a modern LED aquarium light.
The Kessil Spectral Control features a color LCD screen that is navigated by six different capacitive touchscreen buttons to access timer, dimming, color and intensity functions, with dedicated modes for manual, quick set, or program mode, and there’s even a setting for acclimation mode when new corals are introduced. All of the controllability of the Kessil Spectral Controller is packed into the size of a小的智能手机,它是USB供电，并配有两个输出，用于控制两个不同的灯库。
整个设备通过USB供电，该USB还用于上载固件更新，以确保将来可以添加更多功能，更重要的是要保持与即将到来的Kessil LED灯型号的兼容性。KESSIL光谱控制器将于今年夏季可用，以99美元，下面可以在完整的新闻稿中看到。
Richmond, CA (May 14, 2014) – Kessil Lighting, a leading manufacturer of LED aquarium lighting, announces the Spectral Controller. The controller introduces an easy to use control option for the aquarium community. Just the size of a smart phone, the Spectral Controller has the ability to tune up to two different sets of lights via two separate output ports (0~10V). Designed to look great along side Kessil lights, the Spectral Controller is fully compatible with the A360 platform and future releases.
“光谱控制器为水族箱照明控制提供了长期所需的解决方案。我们想要一些不是太笨重或太复杂的东西。我们的目标是创建一个以实惠的价格为特色的控制器，以实惠的价格点，“Kessil的销售经理David Lowry说：”我们希望一个专门为灯的控制器，这将提供正确的控制水平而不会产生不必要的混乱。该控制器是该愿景的结果。“
The controller features a large color display, and a precision touch pad for effortless navigation through the application. Two output ports allow programming of two independent banks of lights; whether it’s two groups of lights on one aquarium, a display and refugium, or multiple tanks, a single controller links it all together. The program mode features:
手动模式：瞬间调整频谱和强度，按需光谱定制。
Program Mode: Features two ways of setting a customized light schedule to match individual tank needs.
快速设置：通过基于自定义计划更改光强度和颜色来创建独特的黎明和黄昏效果。
适应模式：将新灯引入坦克或新珊瑚以适应适应模式简化到现有设置。可以自定义适应时间表以满足特定需求。
The controller is powered via a micro-USB cable; just like a cell phone charger, it can be plugged into a wall outlet or a computer USB port. The controller retains all programs, settings, date and time even when unplugged. The application will be fully upgradeable through online downloads, allowing compatibility with future lights and even more customization.
The Spectral Controller is now entering pre-production for testing with production units available late summer 2014 at a list price of $99.
