Sharing my current light schedule for anyone interested. Similar to an 80/20, but a bit more white.

So in all my messing around setting things up at one point the app had a sps preset. That setting is not in the app now. Is that a nice looking setting and if so what happened to it that it isn’t available? One more question, in the process of connecting all the lights I ended up with duplicates of light 2. Anyone know how to tell me how to remove one on the copies?
Thanks
Jeff

How high are they from the water ?
Do you know the PAR ?

I think ordering at this time will probably not make it in time before May 2nd. I placed my order with aliexpress at the beginning of April, they said they shipped it but it actually didn't ship until April 16th. I just got notification from USP that it arrives tomorrow.

I think if you select the light you wanna remove and then click the 3 lines in the top right and hit reset. I believe that will reset the light and remove it.

Figured it out. Select the edit button on the light you want to remove. One of the options was delete, selecting that removed the light.

Don't know the PAR. They are 9-10 inches

I just received my A8SE2 Blue. I haven't figured out how to use the app yet but with basic setting, the light definitely makes my corals look better than the K7 Pro3's I currently have. Now I wished I had bought two.

Curious if anyone knows how the tariffs are going to work? Will the sellers increase their prices by 125%? I don’t want to order them only to get hit with a 125% increase once they hit the USA. I would like to order 3 more of these but not at twice the price.

Aliexpress now shows estimated charges. Some companies show no shipping available, others show estimated charges.

The buyer I got mine from still show the same price without any extra but I did see other sellers doing what you stated. I think it's all over the place and no one really knows how the the tarriffs will be collected.

I think the company will be shipping the product as normal and then ups or whoever the delivery company is will be collecting the tariffs.

Anyone replace their fans? All the fans on my three a8pro 2 max make a rubbing sound. Hoping it will go away but in case it doesn’t does anyone know of a good silent replacement fan? Also, what bit to use on the screws? I tried regular Philips but one screw seems to want to strip.

Thanks in advance

lol, this app is so confusing to use.

Try this, the light that isn’t responding anymore remove it from the app.

Go directly to light and turn it off and on 7 times fast until it hard resets itself the lights will flicker you’ll know it reset itself.

Go to your phone WiFi you should see it as discoverable again. Go back to app add light again. Once added back configure that light with time zone desired, custom schedule or preset, hit save device then top right burger hit action button close and run app.
You should have all green buttons now, click paper clip buttons to link all lights, pick light you just fixed, configure custom light schedule or preset, hit save device, top right burger again button action save and close.

Go to burger top right, click reset button on bottom, all lights should reset together. Back to burger hit action button close and run app.

Exit out of app completely close it and reopen you should have all green lights and blue paper clips. You should be good to go after all this.

My was adjusting my new light and somehow it got into this state where it doesn't respond to the app or the reset button (holding the power button for 5 seconds). My light is still on but doesn't respond to the app. Is your instruction regarding the hard reset by clicking the power button really fast repeatedly? I tried that but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I didnt replace my fan but I took the top off to help someone on mine.
its a PH1 bit from my precision screwdriver kit. Make sure you put a good bit od downward force as you turn them out so it keeps its bite. They have some thread locker on the screws in there

Is it connected to your app?

It was but I've since removed it from the app. The light is still on but basically unresponsive to changes. Earlier, I was able to hold the reset button to reset it when I was changing from Android to Iphone.

Going back a few pages, I saw two other people encountered this problem. One person replaced the internal board another just disconnect it from power supply for a few hours.

the store Breeze Aqua who i got both my lights and a few DMP pumps now show cannot ship to my country. So they are not even shipping to US now. I hope that means they are still going to ship my DMP20 I ordered last week
