Zoos and Aquariums

Lighting a zoo or aquarium is no easy task. Standard LEDs fall short as they lack the proper spectrum for animal health, while hobbyist or standard architectural fixtures are just not powerful enough for large tanks or exhibits. Consideration must be given to the proper spectrum for coral, plant, and animal health, the fixtures must be powerful enough to punch through the water while standing up to the harsh environment of the facilities - all while providing high quality light to properly highlight the animals. Drawing on 45 years of manufacturing experience and an intimate knowledge of animal, plant, and coral health requirements, Kessil fixtures are tailored for public facilities to light the exhibits that draw the crowds day in and day out. From the largest exhibits with sharks, penguins, manatees and more, all the way down to the smallest back of house coral holding tank, Kessil is able to reliably light, day in and day out.
