Hey everyone,
I have the Photon V2 and have been working on getting them dialed in. I have not been happy with any of the existing spreadsheets out there so I took the one from the ReefBreeders FAQ section of the site and modified it to my liking.
Here is a link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jDssjmXctFATuW-GCDkVtZbm3-HgCcOv1U5YcPyiDJ0/edit?usp=sharing
The first sheet (tab) is the unmodified spreadsheet that is on the ReefBreeders website. The second sheet (tab) titled Custom Schedule is what I added.
Along the top is the "lighting standard". These are the max settings that everything else is based off of. This should be the settings you are working towards, or even just a ratio of intensities that produce a color you like.
Below that is the "scaling factor". This applies the scaling factor to the lighting standard for every time slot in the schedule. Then at the end of every time slot row is what I call the Transition Scaling. This allows you to scale the intensity of the light throughout the day. This is for doing a sunrise and sunset or any other kind of transition you want.
Right now I have the permissions set to comment only, but if you want to use this you can go to File>Make a Copy and make a copy in your own google drive. OR you can download it as an excel file by going to File>Download as>Microsoft Excel.
Hope this is helpful!
