Also are their plans to make a MAC version of your software if wi-fi or Bluetooth is not in the works?

I'm using a 8x39watt with 2 led modules. But when i tried to make a schedule (bought the lamp from somebody who quit) ati light studio said that i have 3 led modules and couldn't save my schedule. After adding a led-module i can save, but the lamp doesn't take over the schedule and is giving strange colors. After taking out the electro plug and power up and set the time, everything looks normal.
Anybody tips?

Any fix for those of us with the original fixture and still flickering?

Our primary role at ATI North America is distribution and support for our territory and the English language. Products are developed in Germany, there are certainly things in the works but I cannot say what features are or are not going to be available on future Powermodule releases. I am certain however, Germany has heard plenty of people with this recommendation. I am sure they would love to do so, just not sure if or when it will actually come to fruition.

hey
looking for some advice. I know this question is asked often but I am looking to get new bulbs for my ATI hybrid 8x54w and was looking for recommendations? lots of threads when i put it in google but no real answer that helps that doesn't involve reading through hundreds of posts.
many thanks

Depends on what look you want and how you utilize the LEDs.
I'd start with 2 Actinic, 2 Coral or Purple Plus and 4 Blue Plus

I like a "white" tank compared to most peoples taste. I have:
3 blue plus
2 aquablue special
1 true actinic
1 purple plus
1 coral plus
It won't let me attach an XML file, so a photo is attached!

I see you do not ramp your T5 bulbs, do you do this because it decreases the bulbs life?

It is a very intense light profile. I have always been a fan of tons of light. When I had a retail store I ran dual 1000w radium halides with dual 110w VHO Actinic over my 8" deep frag system. SPS loved it, especially maricultured stuff coming from sunshine.
IMO corals can handle a lot more light than people give them credit, so long as they are acclimated to the intensity. I spent a month in Vanuatu diving with a fish collector and there was SPS above water frequently.
I am not sure what you are seeing, they are absolutely ramping up and down (the graph is sloped, not straight up and down). They are however at full intensity during peak day.
I absolutely do not believe dimming decreases bulb life with one huge caveat: you absolutely MUST season the bulbs at 100% for 50 hours prior to dimming or you will burn them up very quickly. I think this is where the thought of decreased lifespan originated, too many people doing it wrong and chewing up bulbs quickly.
I have an ATI ballast and a couple pairs of waterproof end caps in my garage where I plug in new bulbs for 2 days each pair. Once all 8 are seasoned I swap them out and lift the light 6-8", then lower an inch or two every week or two.

Keith@ATI, following up on my question

Sorry for the delay addressing it. We (ATI North America) have been discussing the flickering with the engineers in Germany. We have an option that will fix the problem we are still working out the logistics on how to execute it. Long story short the KSQ is a circuit board above each of your LED clusters. This will need reprogrammed with a circuit board programmer.
This is the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axcKMWTnPK8
(not sure RC will allow me to post a link, if RC blocks the URL, go to you tube and search for "ATI LED Powermodule - How to Update Firmware")
If you wish to contact us offline via email, PM, phone etc we can discuss how we can get your KSQ's updated.
If anyone else has original Powermodules with flickering please contact us!
