Longer less intense provides a greater window for photosynthesis throughout the day if you have less light more intense your photosynthesis. Is cut way back

I want that cloud thingy!my lights have a "cloud" program. when I have it on, the tank will go random shade, from left to right, across the tank. haven't used it in a while though. novelty wore off.
But If you want to be a super athele, then it is quite opposite to what you mentioned. Take a look how Micheal Phelps eat during Olympic.With no scientific backing, I'm saying longer, less intense. No different than how I'd prefer to eat: over a longer period of time, but smaller meals. I don't think I'd be happier with one GIANT meal versus food throughout the day.
Also, if the light gets too intense, it could still cause bleaching issues (I think).
funny thing, it will do "lightening" too which is more or less a quick strobe. again random and very annoying.I want that cloud thingy!
Sounds like a cool, “must have” toy. LOL!
Too bad I only have a cheap black box. Might have to get creative!
I have noticed the same with my fish. My leopard wrasse is in the sand bed before the lights are all blue.I tried to mimic the sun’s intensity as much as possible with my lights. I have three G3 Radion XR30 Pro’s over my 220G tank that are controlled by my apex. I set up the lighting schedule to match the average solar radiation curve. It has been set up this way for nearly 5 years now and I’ve seen very good coral growth over that time.
One thing that I like about this is that it seems very natural for the fish. As the lights dim in the last 45 minutes or hour I can see that many of my fish start heading to their sleeping places even before the lights are totally shut off. And by the time the lights do shut off most of the fish that go into the rocks to sleep are already there.
