Recently I purchased four foot frag tank and I'm debating whether I should go with two Radion XR15 G5 or two Kessil A360X. I would love your input if you had both light to compare them. Thanks.

The spectrum on them is really good. The picture on the right is Radions AB+ spectrum. More purple on ReefFi they might be good lights.
 
My 48x24x16 DeepBlue 80 with 2 Kessils only got little more than 200 par at bottom of tank. I added the t5 hybrid for higher par.
Food for thought.

I just order two Radion xr15's blue. They have better par then kessils. I'm using them on my display tank with T5 combo for complete coverage.
 
Changing bulbs once a year is a myth. Don't believe the LED hype. Whole reason the hybrids where invented is because LEDS really could not provide what T-5/MH have for years.

 
Pawel if you wanted them. I do have an extra 48inch 6-bulb t-5 unit loaded with 4 ATI coral blue plus. 1 ati attunic, 1 ati purple plus for 100dollars I have posted. Works like a champ. Save yourself 700 dollars. It was pushing 375 par at the bottom of the tank at 8 inches from the water 30 inches below. I only changed because I wanted 8 bulbs to add a bit more purple. It would easily push 600 par at your frag depth might have to hang higher. Just an option.
 
It's a good deal but I already order Radians. T5s might be too much par for my 12"deep frag tank. I already have light mount screwed to the stand that about 11" above the water so I won't be able to mount T5s any higher. Im waiting on Nero 5's and radions to arrive before I put any frags in tank. Im still printing 3D legs for egg crates.

From another reefer on CR. It's deep blue 45. I had someone weld the light mount for me. I plumb that tank into my existing display tank. It's all one system now.
