Long overdue review on my Noopsyche P1802 and K7 Pro II !
Package was well received, adequate packing and protection. Even though the box looks battered (norm), the lightset is not damage. (Wish i had picture before I rip those boxes apart).
The K7 Pro II look clean it didn’t come with a tank mount because it will be directly mounted on to the P1802 by the means of 2 x Bracket. It might look flimsy but not to worry, once both led bar have been attached and place on P1802, it will not bulge and drop into your tank.
Installation and configuration was a breeze, easy to understand once you grasp the fundamental.
Enough with the long-winded post, time to enjoy pictures of my tank with the new Noopsyche.

Personal Opinion:
Overall I feel the color spectrum of the hybrid lightset is similar to my hydra lighting. But my hydra gives off a very limited spread due to the 80deg lens. as you can see from the image you could see dark area on the tank. With the new led, there is no dark area and I can even grow coral on the bottom bracing.

P1802: Personally, I have made comparison for this T5 Hybrid to other known brand like AquaticLife fixture. I would prefer P1802 over AquaticLife because;
Pros:
Built Sturdier, have a good weight to it, doesn’t feel like a cheap flimsy thin metal
Tilt-able T5 wing to ensure maximise spread and minimise light spill out of tank (major plus)
One single wire cord
In built controller to control the light
Cons:
controller need to be improve or a app would be wonderful
Mounting leg not included (purchase separately)
K7 Pro II: Comparable to the Hydra26HD, very similar indeed. color spectrum looks identical but with more spread compared to the Hydra. However, controller need more work as there is no mobile app to control it. Only controllable using the controller, or the prefix setting on the light controlled by the onboard button.
Pros:
Lower Price
Better Spread
Sleek and compact design
Mounts and controller sell separately to ensure you only pay for what you need
Cons:
Controller needs to be improve or app would be wonderful
