Depends on your budget

If you want to see light rays and scintillation that looks like real sunlight then Kessil A360XE Tuna Sun are really nice

I used to buy from big Al’s but they stopped shipping to us

Other high end lights are Aquaillumination Hydra 32 and Ecotech Radion Freshwater led. I prefer the Kessil as the lighting looks very natural., like sunshine.

All are available at bulkreefsupply website

I have multiple Aquaillumination lights from Prime HD’s to their newest Blade(which is absolutely fantastic) and a few Kessils. I agree with P phreeflow nothing beats Kessil’s when it comes to that natural shimmer we see in the wild.

heavily agree with this, at AIs are super nice. i personally run 3 ai prime fws and they have a nice scheduling and lighting control app.

The blue is turned off at the 35 sec. mark of the video for a more natural look.
