Ecotech Radion Gen2 questions

[stpatrick]

I just recently switch to two gen2's over my 60 gallon cube. here is my question, if I can make sense If my overall intensity is set to 100% and my individuals channels are set to 50%. What is my over all intensity, 50%? VS the main intensity being 50% and my channels set to 100% What are the advantages of controlling overall intensity by the main slider 0% - 100% or the channels? I see other folks leaving the total intensity, for most of the day, at 100% then backing off the individual channels. IE; 100,50,35,20,20 and the 0-100% slider at 100%.

Thanks for looking.

I run 1 radion pro over my 60g cube and it is plenty of light. I use the individual channels to get the coloration that I want. I use the main intensity to adjust the power of my total lighting. I am not sure if that is what others do.

Hi there,

Thank you for the response. I guess I am trying to ascertain how the individual channel % effects the over all intensity. Meaning. If my over all intensity is 100% and my channels are, hypothetically rb 100, b 60, w 50, r 20, g 20, does my intensity decease over all or is it just blending.

Thank you.

For that sort of detail, I'd recommend putting a post on the Ecotech forum. Search it first. You may find your answer there already

The purpose of the color sliders are to adjust color temperature [spectrum] of LEDs on an individual basis. If you lower the sliders (individual colors or overall brightness) you will in fact reduce the overall intensity.

If you look at the graph, you'll notice the overall intensity of the light is shown based on the height of the yellow line on your graph. Turning on "Individual Colors" will show the intensity of each LED color channel as well.
