SOS LF Kessil 360

[SeanMc]

My Kessil 360 WE just died suddenly. My tank is basically dark so I'm looking for a replacement to buy or borrow ASAP. Anything that I can mount on their gooseneck mount. Because of where my tank is located in a bookshelf, other lights won't really work. I'm in Oakland.

I was hoping to get a new tank soon, so this is kind of annoying to have to get another one only for a few months. Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Thanks!!

If you unplug then re-plug, does it flash for a second then turn off? There's a jump-start fix if that's the case

I have an A80 you can borrow. Not as strong but will fit the gooseneck. I'm in Dublin

You can borrow my Radion gen 3 as long as you like if you have the mounts. Unfortunately I don’t have RMS bracket nor arm

Tank should be okay for a week, people do it for blackout all the time- you have a little breathing room.

I have an arm you can borrow. Let me know if you need it.
3 days any thing more is risky if they need light.

It does flash for a second when I plug it in, but not consistently. Maybe one in ten tries and I didn't see an obvious pattern. What is the jump-start fix?

Thanks! I have the arm. Looking to swap a working light onto my existing arm.

Found the video. I did this years ago and it actually fixed one of my two dead 360WE.

I have Julius A360WE that he is looking to sell. Pretty cheap if you're interested in it. Message me. I have it in Berkeley.

I recently gave 2 of them that I didn't plan to use to @Glob55, not sure if he's used them both or not? If not he might be willing to let you borrow one?

Cool!! Any ideas what to use if you don’t have a pc?

@SeanMc I'm using the 360s @MichaelB gave me already, but I have a 350 if you want to borrow it.

I sacrificed and stripped the wires from a random 12v power adapter I found. You know, the one from the box of miscellaneous cables and power bricks that you don't want to throw away because it miiiight be needed in the future.

Feeling a little less panicky. Thanks.

I have a couple of old A360s sitting around you can have

It warmed my heart to see the club step in to help. Really appreciate all the kind offers from everyone. Having an aquarium is a lot more fun with clubs like this.

@Galoot really helped me out with the lights. If any club member needs an old a360 in the future, LMK because it looks like I'm going to have extra, especially if I can fix my broken one.

I wasn't able to keep my old wiring because apparently the older ones have a different 2-pin connector to the power source. The labeling is also different. Kessil used to call "Intensity" "Dimming" and "Color" "Blue."

Nice thanks! I hide that box away from the wife in a 50g barrel ha!
