Orphek icon schedule program

[Yazannreef]

Hi, do you still run this schedule in March 2024?
I'm afraid to run my actinic/UV channels so high. I run them about halfway currently.

But I was wondering how are your SPS doing? Colour and all. Can you post a pic?

Check my build thread. All pics are under the icons

Just got an Icon and am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to adjust a program…

“please select the time first”
How?

If I wanted to load Helios and adjust the whites down and the blues up, how do I do this?

Also, Acclimation mode switches away from a program I came up with. Looks a lot like Helios , turned down.

I like a blue tank, not white.

Nope. I had to create a whole new program and then another at 50% power (quasi Acclimate mode).

I found that I like all blue channels at 100% and then the other two at 20-30%. This gives me a bluer look without the “windex” look while also providing plenty of par (400+) where I’ll have my acros at.

So far, not impressed at all by the programming for this light. Seems really counterintuitive. Hope I’m just wrong.

Hello, It took me a while to figure it out but it can be done. After you select helius, go to control and click on the blue timeline dots(you have to click right on them, it might take couple tries) after you click on it it turns red and allows you to see the intensity for each dot. Select your preferred intensity for each hour then save the program under a different name.
Go to the program list and select your new schedule. Now your light should be programmed on the new schedule.

Thanks! I’ll try this out later.

I don’t understand why Orphek made the interface so difficult to use. I feel like I need an Apple Pencil just to select things…

Yeah it's kinda crazy. I had AI and was so much easier to control everything but after you get used with Orpheks It ain't bad
