I don't have the problem with the light being yellow as it ramps up. I've done like what you want to do sahin and set specific colours at specific times

Many thanks for confirming that mate. :thumbsup:

It sounds like Eric might have an issue with his unit or maybe a firmware fault.

No problems with any of mine running my own lighting project either. You do have to remember to work the check points correctly though so that things gradually change etc.

Also I'm quite happy with the features of the software and know that more will come a lot as light develops.

As far as the USB goes in have had no problem with salt splashing my lights and really like the cover. I have had rations before and hated the way they had the little cover. But of course when the PAB module comes out I will be getting thatso its all done through the P3
 
I've been playing around with different K temperatures and the transitions from one set point to another shows no yellow or red during the change.

I'm really enjoying this light and still in shock at how such a small unit can cover my tank without any trouble. Pictures will be up soon. :)

Thanks to everyone. I am looking forward to more photos and videos if possible too.

I think GHL have a brilliantly designed unit here. When you consider the coverage by one unit; it is far better than a Radion.

So come on people, post up your photos and videos to inspire others to purchase these lights.

More purchases means better things to come from GHL in the future. I am hoping they will be releasing custom "pucks" etc in the future to really fine tune the spectrum. - Not that I see any issues with it; but as always improvements can always be made.
 
havent go more pics just yet, but i can say that my red's and pinks are improving since the change over to the light :) which is new for my LED experience
 
I am not sure what the new driver can offer but with the latest driver available to the public, the light turns very very yellow if u set u light by,

Select the preset K at a particular time, then

Select the percentage output

To avoid this from happening, I set each channel one by one manually, at each particular time, I spend more than 1 hrs on it (excluding the time I wasted as I forgot to save it for a few attempts and sometimes the setting time will become 0:00 by itself if u don't put an eye on it)

These two coral I almost discarded them last week as they looked too pale, with the GHL, they stay

All this feedback is fanatastic, it drives the product to become better and better for everyone :) Thanks for all your time in reporting back :)

In regards to the quotes above - This is the purpose of the light composer so you do have full control over the output if you do not like the preset. The preset should be seen as a quick start for further adjustment to your own liking. Please see section 6 of the manual page 20, there is good write up there in regards to human eye perception and what corals see. This is also why you see other people reporting on here they do not have or perceive the same. Everyone see light differently


Please also download latest user manual version

http://support.aquariumcomputer.com/downloads/GHL Control Center Software Guide-english.pdf

Setting back to 12am - cured in latest version

Lumens Vs Kelvin output - More uniform in latest version but remember this is a preset quick start it is expected for you to play with the 9 channels to dial in a colour ratio that you may find more pleasing, this is also why you can save your own project to use at another time slot.

That's great Michael! Cheers.

Some advise if you have the time. I was running a 8 x 24W ATI module running at 100% about 8" from the surface.

I have started the LEDs about 24" above the tank at approx 12000K at max intensity of 37%. I will slowly move the lights down to approx 12" above water then increase the intensity.

Am I going too slow or does this sound "about right"?

Thanks for any help

Here you go the latest software. Please make sure you update the firmware once you have installed the new software. The firmware is embedded in the software but you still must press firmware update and power cycle the lamp. If stuck email me sales@aqua-digital.com

Thx, I will check it out tonight as I found my own settings is too bright, I am afraid my sps may bleach

and I learn one german, "Gestern" = today:lolspin::lolspin:
 
Here another mitras owner, I also have a problem with the lights turning yellow, my programme is (all 12000K):
09.00 lights on at 1%
12.00 lights at 100%
19.00 lights at 100%
22.30 lights at 1%

after this I just want royal blue at 2% as moonlight.

At 18.00 my lights turn yellow, tried almost everything, even doing the programming again and again.

any one else has this happening?

Today I got the new version, but I can't perform the firmware update, it says it has but when i press general I still see version 1.06...

greetings Yvon
 
12k is quite yellow so this would be expected, I suggest emailing me for the project.

If it says 1.06 you are loading old version, the software only has one version embedded in so it cant load old version only version it comes with.

I suggest emailing me for direct instructions and also project sales@aqua-digital.com
 
I was still playing and I found the problem with turning yellow, at the channel for the royal blue I had to switch off moon simulation, now everything is working with the new firmware.
Maybe this will help someone else.
 
Yes if you have moon simulation on and it is in cycle of no moon or little moon then this will effect the dark blue LED output. This is more to do with the first software version.
 
Hi, I'm loving these lights.
How much control do you have from the built in control panel, if you don't currently have a computer to connect them to?
Thanks
And yes, more photos would be greatly appreciated!!
Fantastically informative thread, btw
Between aquadigital's and Rodney's quick and detailed responses, you guys are selling these things like hot cakes... Having said that, these lights sell themselves pretty easily..
