AI Blade Lunar Effect

[dbaulch83]

Anyone got one of these and know how the lunar effect works with the myAI app?
No instructions and seems pretty random..

Honestly you have to i think turn on the Lunar mode on the just add on the schedule. I don't think the Ai blades have specific Lunar leds.

Anyone figure out how to make this work? I turned it on and it seems like it is dimming my lights in the day!

Not seeing an actual way to enable this so it only works at night.

It’s not as easy as it could be that’s for sure. I’m still not 100% but if you add an extra full moon time point, it seems to automatically adjust the period between the crescent moon time point (switches off here at new moon) and the full moon time point (maintains higher light and switches off here at full moon). A similar pattern occurs at the start of the day. My pattern is

attached for reference. Good luck!

I see yellow and blue dots at the bottom of the graph that appear to correspond with the points the moonlight gets applied to. Any idea if there is a way to turn blue points yellow or move the start point for the moonlight?

I use the Lunar function on my Hydra 52HD's - not sure if its the same though.
You have to leave one of the blue colours on 1-3%, this is what will come on for the Lunar cycle.

Sort of a clunky way to do it, but I solved the problem. Had to go into easy setup and set the sunrise and sunset time. Then redo my program from scratch.

you need to turn on the Lunar button and a color has to be set to 5% during the time you want the lunar to work. I never did it cause I feel like its to bright

Yeah, was disappointed it had to be so bright as well. Heard this helps get invertebrates like rock flower anemones to breed though so figured it is worth trying.

Makes the tank a bit more interesting at night as well. Possibly there is a downside of so much light at night but seems unlikely to be that bad.

It's not bright all the time though, depends on the lunar cycle.
