SimuL LED light stick help

[juniormc8704]

Ive got the simustick pluged into l3l4 and both set to dimmable.

What im looking to do is have the red/orange start a couple hours before my non GHL light (socket function setup) actinics kick on in the morning, have them then turn off completely, then have the moon lights kick on after all main lights shut off.

Im wanting them to grow in intensity all the way to 100% just before the lights come on, and the from 100% to 0% at night.

I would like to have this happen over 2 hours in the morning, and 3 hours at night.

I am having major problems trying to get this to work. I keep getting overlap errors etc...

Please help.

Ill let you know tomorrow.

You cannot have them start or end on the same minute.

dim 0-100 from 8:00am to 9:59am
then dim 100-0 from 10:00am to 10:05am

Good Luck

Yeah, I got it a couple minutes after i posted. It took me a minute to see how each setting effected the next.

thanks very much

This was a question I had as well:
Can I use the Simu-L as a dimmable light for sunrise / sunset, and also program it to moonlight?
If I just set the simu to I5 (in my case) for the sunrise / sunset, then how will the moonlight portion be controlled?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Set I6 up for your moonlight then program as you did for you sunrise sunset

To explain further the advanced simu's work on two channels

1 for moon

1 for sun

Thunderstorm is self programmed

so set sun on illumination 1
and
moon on illumination2

set your 1-10V interface up to react to I1 and I2 accordingly

Moon will react to L1 L3 L5

Sun will react to L2 L4 L6

You can however swap this by going into LED programming

Thanks Michael.
So I programmed L1 (red) to I5, then programmed hours for sunrise / set.

L2 (blue / white) to I6 and programmed moonphase to I6. Do I also program hours for I6? If so which takes priority, Moon or Programmed hours?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

well L1 reacts moon so you need to change your settings, see above post.

Yes program for L6, neither takes priority they will over lap if you want the same insert times.

Send me your data file and i will program for you, just need to know what you wish to do. time wise

oops, OK will swap them.
Thanks.
