Help with moonlight

[ggk1988]

I want to utilize the lunar phase option. I have turned it on but it doesn't seem to be working. I have the schedule set for shallow reef from 11am-11pm. Do I need to create a second point on the graph to trigger the lunar phase? If so, can someone explain it in simple steps. I thought I was adequate with computers but ESL is killing me.

Not sure what phase the moon is right now, but if it is a new moon there will be no light. The light follows the phases so this may be the case.

I forced my own moonlight. If you use the lunar phase, you will have nights of no light and nights of "full moon light". That is my understanding anyway

Looking out my window the moon is nice and bright well on its way to a full moon , so it should be shining at night.

I am ok with the nights of no light due to current moonlight schedule, but currently it should have some.

How did you force your own moonlight? Or how did you program your Radion to have moonlight?

You need to setup a point somewhere past your 11pm one. That will become your end point for the day at which time they go completely dark.
Make your 11pm point the max brightness/intensity that you want to see at full moon
I.e. Say at 11pm you have:
RB 15%
B 15%
and any other colors you want. Then say you want 2 hrs of moonlight per night you would then setup a point at 1am with everything at 0
Now Lunar Phase should kick in from 11pm-1am

ggk1988,

As previously mentioned, you need to create lunar points. To do this double click on the graph after your end of day point.
