I just watched a video from Josh at WWC where he recommended using point intensity instead of schedule intensity. If I understand correctly the reasoning what that you can use point intensity to be able to vary the light intensity over the course of the schedule vs capping out the schedule at a given value.

Before I start playing with some lighting ideas, I just want to confirm that Schedule Intensity set to 65% and Point Intensity set to 100% is the same as Schedule Intensity set to 100% and Point Intensity set to 65%?

I thought the same thing. I had my point intensity set at 100% and my schedule set at 50% and my corals were bleach white but grew. So I lowered my schedule intensity to 40% and still the corals were bleach white. Then one day I set my schedule intensity to 0%. My lights should have been off, but were as bright as ever. So I then set my point intensity to 50% and my schedule intensity to 100% and my lights were half as bright as they used to be and after 2 years my corals got colors, no more bleached white. In both cases every color channel(white,red green,etc) was set to 100%(gen 5 blues AB+ spectrum).
