Hi all,
Can Kessil A160we Tuna Sun's be controlled by an Apex controller?
Thank you!

Assuming you've got two variable speed ports available (the base unit has four of them on two connectors, labeled "V1/V2" and "V3/V4") then you don't need any modules. If you're already using those, or if you have a Jr or Lite that doesn't have them, then you'll need a VDM module (aka "Variable Speed Pump Control Module").

You'll need at least one Kessil "Type 1" control cable. If you've got two lights, you can use two of these cables (and four variable speed ports on the Apex) to control them individually, or you can do what I'm doing on mine and control one from the Apex using a single control cable, and linking the second light to the first with a male-to-male 1/8" stereo cable (an "aux" cable from Amazon for $5 works just fine). Set up this way, both lights are controlled simultaneously through the single cable.

Hope that helps!
