Kessil should do it. 360x or cheaper 360we

Not a very big setup, I assume you have the 18W fixture?
hmm, the smallest of the main fixtures I know of is the ocean revive T247, it's 10" from front to back and 17" from side to side, so I think it would give very good coverage if you suspend it, <6" above the tank. Any higher than that and the light will spill over, so cut a black screen or attach a skirt/lamp shade around it. It also comes with mounting legs,
At120W, if you do go with it, you'd never need to go above 50%.

I had the Ocean Revive T247 over my 20 gal long frag tank for years. No problem growing/maintaining my SPS frags. Loved that light. Another option would be Reefbreeders Photon 16 V2+ series....it's around $375 but its programmable in intensity and with sunrise/sunset dimming on all 6 channels. The Ocean Revive is programmable on/off only for the 2 channels and manual intensity only. Both real good lights just more control and better LEDs on the Photons.

For the size tank and depth, the AI Prime 16hd is sleek clean and small form factor. No brainer, imo.

You can get them on sale often.

AI prime 16, kessil 160we, or a kessil 360 or 360x just to keep it sleek or a radion xr15 gen4 or 5 what ever floats your boat I know some people don’t like buying used but I have no problem deppending on how old it is.

radion or kessil

I have a radion over my 20 peninsula with excellent results with growing anything under it i also have a radion xr30 over my 60 cube..highly recommended
Fyi i have an xr15 pro gen 3 for sale.i upgraded to a radion pro gen 5

I know this is old, and not sure OP got a light yet, but I recommend a used AI Prime HD if they aren't worried about breaking the bank. Solid light that is easily programmable.
