Hope we get some other folks active here. I have had these setting for 5 years with my Vertex Illumina and am wanting to perk up my 150 gal reef tank. Any suggestions.
White-50, blue-60, royal 70, 3hr ramp up and down, 7 hrs at peak light. I am thinking of increasing the blue and royal, and decreasing the total peak time.

been out of the hobby since 2015, but looking to get started again. i have an old illumina 1200 200 that I will probably use until I can't (seeing as what the thing ran). I did have pretty good luck with it on my last set up. still shopping tanks atm.

Not sure is this is current but here is a link to a store that sells the V Link

Vertex V-Link

It's amazing what a simple USB drive can do. The Vertex V-Link is a lighting accessory that allows your laptop to be utilized as your wireless controller for your Vertex Illumina LED lighting! The V-Link sends your Light Studio programming to Illumina and future wireless Lumilux LED lights. This...

[/QUOTEWhat year did you put it into service and out of service?

 

[Snoopy 67]

Into service --3/26/15
Removed -- 1-31-18
To be honest it ran @ 100% with ramp up & down.

Help. I operate in custom mode, not expert. Program thought the Link. How and where do I lower the intensity of my moon lights. I see only moonlights on or off.

 

[Snoopy 67]

Mark,
IF I remember correctly, BIG IF, when moonlights are on then you should be able to see the program & be able to adjust them to your liking in that program. Otherwise double check the literature you got.
Are you satisfied with the light I sent?

I have the light up and running ok. Thanks, Snoopy 67

You're welcome, glad it all worked out.

How much is a 72" Illumina 260 worth in good condition?

 

[DiazE]

Just cleaned my Illumina 260 3ft after a long break to put it back in service. Tested the previous program and still works. Would like to know if Scitronix - the company that is now the upgrade go to, has a GUI program update. Light has been down since 2014.

 

[DiazE]

Also would like to know if they can provide latest firmware update.

 

[DiazE]

Bump! Anyone still use these lights?

Would like a source of light schedule files.

I have an SR260 3' fixture above my 90g. Recently it has started losing the time when the light powers off. I have my apex kill power for a few hours each night to resolve an issue where after a month or so of constant on time the far right LED pad will go full bright white when the light comes on in the morning. Anyone know where the watch battery to keep the internal clock is located?


Also curious on firmware updates from SciTronics as mentioned by DiazE

The battery is behind the led end of the unit, you have to remove the small allen key hex screws and then behind is yet another set of screw but this time very small torx.
