Moon Cycle

Is it possible just to run the moon lites(simulating the moon cycle) ......If so I would I set it up I have a lamp module

What type moon lights?

I emailed the folks that make the Outer Orbit fixture and they told me that the LED type moonlights, at least theirs, were not dimmable.

I think the lamp dimmer that is used with the ACIII is mainly for incandescent bulbs, which is what I currently use.

There is an undocumented feature on the DC8 that works as a dimmer. If you plug into the 8th outlet it will dim... however Neptune states that at low light settings it can flicker.... (hence the no documentation).

can anyone link what kind of moonlights do work with these?

Just get yourself a simple incandesent bulb (like the older christmas ornament bulbs)... painted blue...

so is there a command related to the dimming feature?
other than

If Moon Then ...

I mean is there a DIM command or the Like? that would allow me to set the intensity ( not completely sure why I would just wondering)

No dim commands are available to the user. It would be a simple firmware change to allow us to be able to send our own dimming levels. I have asked for it in a future firmware release but the responce from Curt was that it will only happen if a large number of people would use it.

 

[dhoch]

Yeah and I had asked kurt to be able to test the dimming conditions... If you don't have a dimmable bulb you can still use the moon command on a regular socket, but it all on or off, and thats "too much" moon light...

Would be neat to be able to say

If Moon 000/000 THEN MLT ON
IF DIM<30 THEM MLT OFF

Well I run on a hood, not a canopy so an Xmas light sticking out from under the hood MIGHT be a tad noticeable. =)
