How we checked
90W max AC draw, 6,000-9,000K+RY tunable spectrum, 24x24in mixed-reef/moderately-planted coverage, and hanging-ring/bracket mounting confirmed directly on Kessil's own product page this read. Base unit ships with manual dial control only (no built-in schedule) — app/scheduling requires an optional WiFi Dongle or Spectral Controller X, so programmable schedule is false. Price $499.99 MSRP corroborated at $499.00 on SaltwaterAquarium (which lists the current unit as 'A360XE Tuna Sun', ~15% brighter than older 360X, same 90W).
