Simple control for your Kessil lights
The Spectral Controller X has a color display and touch controls, so you can adjust your lights without turning knobs on the fixture. The programming is straightforward, with plenty of room to customize.
K-Link for A360X lights
K-Link lets you connect up to 32 A360X lights on one chain and put them into groups, with each group running its own program. It also works both ways, so the controller can see how many lights are connected and what each one is doing.
One controller, two ports
- K-Link port for A360X lights
- 0-10V output port for compatible older Kessil fixtures
If you’re upgrading from older Kessil lights, you don’t need to replace them to use this controller.
Ways to control your lights
- Manual mode: set intensity and color yourself
- Program mode: build a custom schedule for your tank, with dawn and dusk effects
- Acclimation mode: slowly raise the light over time when you add a new light or new corals

Questions we get
Will this work with my Kessil light? Check the compatibility table above. If you aren’t sure, message us with your model before ordering.
Do I need extra cables? For A360X lights, no, because the K-Link cable is included. For older 0-10V lights, you need the Unit Link cable, which is sold separately.
Can I control other brands of lights with it? No, it only works with Kessil lights.
What is acclimation mode for? It brings the light up gradually over time, which helps when you add a new light or new corals.
Can I run different lights on different schedules? Yes, with A360X lights you can set up groups and give each group its own program.
