when you not edited the radian va software is the light less bright ????

When you cycle through the color temperatures manually, the one it beeps on is the brightest, IIRC. You can get the same intensity with the manual controls as with the programmed controls. But if you don't program the light, you're missing out on so much functionality...

Am try to get a pc b/c I have a Mac

I use a MacBook Pro to program my lights, actually -- Parallels with Windows 7 in a virtual machine. Works great!

The lights will retain their program through a power outage, so you may be able to take them to a friend's PC too.

I also use a Mac. Instead of buying Parallels I run VirtualBox (free). You could use Windows 7 for 30 days without needing an activation key if you don't have a windows license.

how do you install VirtualBox

data_loss · Feb 11, 2012

On the download page for VirtualBox you should see:

VirtualBox 4.1.8 for OS X hosts x86/amd64

Download the .dmg file that link points to and open it.

Yes you do.

Use any version of Windows 7 free for 120 days

I can't help you any more than that.
