Growing macro algae in your refugium or sump can help reduce nitrate and phosphate levels in your saltwater tank while providing a safe harbor for micro-fauna to thrive.
The Halo II H380 has been specifically designed to emit a spectrum that will allow algae and other plants to grow to their fullest potential by targeting the wavelengths and spectrum required. The H380 does have the ability to change spectrum, that will allow you to fine tune the lighting for the best growth of your specific type of algae. Allowing faster growth will, therefore, allow the algae to remove more nutrients from the water column.
With the different types of Kessil mounting options, like the gooseneck, mounting the H380 is super easy and can mount on almost any sump or in any location.
Dense Matrix LED Technology
Kessil is a leader when it comes to LED lighting technology. With their Dense Matrix LED's producing a concentrated source of light, and switchable spectrum every wavelength within the spectrum is mixed perfectly allowing even and full growth. The H380 now has 30% more power than its predecessors allowing for deeper penetration and greater efficiency. The one fixture contains two unique full color spectrum blends with enhanced UV light.
Switchable Spectrum
Extreme Purple - Ideal for the growth phase of algae or plants. This spectrum will produce rapid growth while producing a lush, healthier algae. We suggest tuning the H380 closer to this spectrum to allow faster growth and uptake of nutrients.
Extreme Magenta - Targets the bloom stage, driving plants to increase quality and quantity of yield.

Product Questions
Great question! While mounting height can vary depending on your set-up, we would recommend at least 6-8" above the water to avoid burning your macroalgae and in order to maximize the distribution of light in the refugium.
Take care! c:

Actual: Input 100-240 V 50-60 Hz ~1.6 A Output 19.5 V 4.62 A Max. 90 W
Can someone confirm this is the correct ac adapter?
Thank you for reaching out with your question.
The power supply that was provided with your light is the correct AC adapter. Manufacturers sometimes make small changes to the product and accessories after the manuals are printed. That adapter will work with that light with out any issues.
Let us know if you have any questions!

Have a great day!
In short the light has been used on several of our tanks including the BRS 160 with success in keeping the algae growth constant without major pH swings between day and night. It certainly has worked on our systems but there are several other variable which can impact pH. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
This light has a single knob to adjust the intensity of the fixture. There is only 2 spectrums included the grow(recommended for algae) and bloom which is strictly used in hydroponics or plant flowering. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
