Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun

Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun LED – Freshwater Light That Feels Natural

The Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun LED was built to make planted aquariums thrive. This compact LED from Kessil brings shimmer, spectrum control, and a clean design into one fixture. Inside our Reef Tank Lighting collection, it fills a unique role: powerful enough for growth, but still subtle enough to keep tanks looking natural.

What Stands Out About the Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun LED

Placed under our LED lighting section, the kessil a160we is more than a plant light. Its Dense Matrix LED packs dozens of diodes into one tight source, which means no weird color spots or patchy shadows. Instead, you get even coverage and shimmer that looks like real sunlight.

• Balanced spectrum between 6,000K–9,000K

• Natural shimmer effect that adds depth

• Coverage area up to 24 x 24 inches

• Compact 40W design for small to medium tanks

Designed for Healthy Plant Growth

The Tuna Sun uses Kessil Logic to lock in plant-friendly light, even when you dim or increase intensity. That balance makes it easier to grow rooted stems, carpets, and background plants without constantly tweaking settings.

Mounting Made Simple

You can set up the kessil a160we with the A-Series Gooseneck for quick positioning, or use the included hanging hardware if you prefer a clean, suspended look. Either way, it’s easy to adjust light direction and intensity as your tank grows.
