So i just got my AI Primes set up in Fusion via the MXM module…for every time point I add, I can adjust the channels to whatever I want. But then it also has the option to adjust the power from 1-100%…this wasn’t an option in the My AI app. That being said, if i am trying to recreate the settings to match My AI, I would set each point to 100%? I don’t really understand the point of this setting…

I assume you're talking about these circled percentages...

My understanding was that those are the settings for the TOTAL output. The light is using 0% of the total power, 40% of the total power, and so on.

The sliders below that set the spectrum within the setting (in my case, "LPS/Soft")... If that makes sense.

Ultimately a PAR meter will be able to help you decide how much total power you want the light to put out.

Thanks for the reply. That’s what i thought was going on. I assume when i was running those lights in the Al app, it would be at 100%, only adjustments would be the spectrum sliders. So basically, it’s like using the acclimation setting? I just rented a par meter like 3 weeks ago. Should have waited i guess.

Remember the horizontal lines on the old app? The two fingers slide up and down. They represent total output of your blended spectrum. I peak out at about 62% total output of the devices at my given blended light spectrum.

Oh yeah…now that you mentioned it- I know i didn’t have it all the way up. Crap. I’m going to have to rent a par meter again because i can’t sync my lights to the AI app now…or at least I’m afraid to try. Thanks for answering what should have been obvious.
