The Kessil AP700 was the company’s long awaited first LED固定装置that brought with it their own blend of multichips and color control that had long been enjoyed by reefers in a spotlight form factor. It’s been about ten years now since the Kessil brand first entered the aquarium lighting market and at MACNA 2019 they presented a trip through memory lane of their first prototypes, many spotlight models, and a glimpse at what they are working on next.
It may not have a proper name yet but the new Kessil AP-style fixture is a true second generation successor to the first AP700. This new Kessil fixture brings with it refinements to every aspect of light output, color channels, wireless controls, and a whole new form factor as the platform to carry all this fancy engineering footwork.
从表面上看,这个新的固定装置看起来像是Kessil AP700的较小,更薄且更光滑的版本,但相似性几乎是完全肤浅的。这种新的Kessil固定装置的唯一真正的痕迹是其AP700前身的使用是使用两个聚光灯,并在外壳顶部触摸敏感的输入。
新固定装置的两个聚光灯被带到了一个近距离的位置,它们已经摆脱了AP700的椭圆灯的传播,并回到了经典的凯西尔聚光灯的圆形传播中。Mini Jack曾经曾经用于雏菊链多重固定装置已通过USB-C连接器进行了现代化,以实现更复杂和更高的带宽K-Link系统。
Since there’s a wifi indicator light on the fixture itself we presume (and hope) that the wireless capabilities will be built-in like they are in the AP700. It’s a rare and bold move for Kessil to show the public the next light they are working on including how much sleeker, smaller and refined it will be compared to the light it is replacing. We still have some time to wait as Kessil was clear in pointing out that the new AP-style fixture will not be released any sooner than early next year, giving us plenty of time to learn more about what this new Kessil light can do.
