How do I set lighting percentages on my new Radion G4 Pros

[oseymour]

I've been a Kessil user for years and in the last month I've moved to 2 Radion G4 Pro.

On all the lights I've used there is one place to set lighting intensity. With ESL I have a main slider, and then a slider to manage each channel.

Can someone please explain the relationship between the two?
Right now I have my main slider at 65% does that mean I'm running my lights at 65%?

That is a great question. The "main" slider you are referring is the brightness slider which scales the overall intensity of that particular data point. The individual color sliders control the intensity for a particular color channel only. On the Radion schedule graph, the "Y" position of a given point on the schedule is referred to as "Relative Intensity" which is a value that was calculated with all of the color channels and scaled by the brightness. Different color channels factor differently into the equation. The orange slider on the left of the schedule graph is used to conveniently adjust the brightness slider of all of the daytime data points. It is the same operation as if you opened each daytime data point and adjusted the brightness slider.

The key point is that you are happy with the spectrum and intensity of the Radion at a given time of the day. So it is a good idea to start with one of our schedule templates (Schedule Options > Load from Template) and then adjust intensity as you see fit. You should also utilize our acclimation feature to ensure that you are adjusting the intensity accordingly.
