I'm clearly not a millenial
I don't really have much of a saltwater lighting side. I'm more interested in teh animals, not corals.
the Kessils have the shimmer thing, but the color reproduction fronm them, to me, belies their saltwater roots, and everything is too blue, when you really want more greed and then red for a planted aquarium.
The disco effect comes from different colored LEDs, and the reflections, like the shimmer you get from Kessils, but with different colors it looks like a disco.. not everyone can see it, not everyone is bothered by it... but it is different for different fixtures, and certainly less with modern fixtures vs those from maybe 2010 through 2017.
If you are so inclined, Cara Wade who spoke at the last AGA convention and used to work for build my LED is scheduled to speak at the next Chicago Area Plant Sociaty meeting online in roughly a month (4th Sunday) specifically about LED lighting.
it should be posted to the AGA Facebook group on the day, but I would be happy to sneak the link to you if you like.
And if you are going to get a smart phone, do it to play games and then shop on Amazon... I use it for aquariums, but really to change timers and changing colors.. no effects. But watch out, some lights will only let you control certain features of them with a cell phone )or tablet) like the Fluval 3.0 for example... I did try to remember and take it into account
