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

Thanks! I’ll check them out. Any other recommendations or places to shop?
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.
