Ecotech Radion Moonlight Help

ricenoodle · Nov 29, 2015

Maybe you guys can help me with this as i'm stumped. I run a Reef Radiant mode on my Radion and it works flawlessly throughout the day. I want to run moonlights all night from my sunset point to sunrise point, 8 pm to 9 am. Right now i have it at 13% Royal Blues at 4% intensities. Sometime they turn on sometimes they don't. Called Ecotech and they set several points throughout the night, that helped some but it's not consistant. What am i doing wrong? if anyone is more familiar with this please fill me in as i'm stumped. Just looking for moonlight to be on all through the night once i enter night mode. Thanks in advance.

Don't know if it will help but you can try enabling lunar phases. I run moonlight from 9 to about 12 using lunar phases then have them shut totally off. Also, the shut off point at 9, make sure you have the overall intensity set to something other than 0. For example, my shut off point is set at 6% intensity with the blues (and blues only) at 100%. You then set another point further down, when you want the moonlights to shut off. Make sure that "further down" point matches the shut off point at 9 (otherwise, the intensity will gradually decrease until it hits the next, lower intensity point. Does that make sense lol? Here is a pic of mine if it helps......

Waters, my sunset and sunrise is both at 13% RB at 4% intensity, so are all the other points at night. Can you tell me what settings are in each point between sunset and sunrise for you. Thanks for the help.

Based on your graph, it looks like your sunset is at 0? Notice how my line is up higher, curving down towards 12am. Click on your sunset point and post the picture (or you can just send me your Radion graph via PM). To answer your question though, my sunset is 100% blues and 6% intensity. My next point is at 12 am with everything at 0. So from 9 - 12, the intensity gradually decreases until it hits the 12am point. I have lunar phases enabled which will change the intensities a bit (for example, it will only be at 6% intensity if it is a full moon......intensities will change based on which phase the moon is currently in.) One last thing....have you tried doing a factory reset on the lights? That is one of the first things that Ecotech recommends if the lighting isn't acting normally (assuming your graph is set up properly).
