You could set it to a color that you find pleasing to your eye. You could set it so you are getting a 12 hour photo period. Use like a 3 hour ramp up, 6 hour peak and 3 hour ramp down.

Thank you for the comments unfortunately it’s not playable to rump it up of three hours. I can setting it only like this for example.

I would be happy for some help

I have 4 of these. The ramping curve is tricky.

There is a 10min built in ramp that isn't mentioned in the documentation.

Ie: Even if you have start 1 at 11am set to 100%, the light will turn on dimly at 10:50am then ramp from 0-100% in that 10 min period. Unfortunately you can't make that ramp longer, but it's been fine for me.

Here is my schedule:
Start time, A (UV), B (Blues), C (White)
6:00 100 100 2
12:00 100 100 6
18:00 0 0 0

What actually happens is this:
Start time, A (UV), B (Blues), C (White)

5:50 1 1 1
6:00 100 100 2
12:00 100 100 6
18:00 0 0 0


That give me 6 hrs of very strong photoperiod followed by a gradual ramp down for 6 hrs. Initially, when tank was brand new I used much lower numbers (half these) and slowly increased the values over 4 weeks.


Hope that helps
