I finally ordered new bulbs and went with the above suggestion..... my 6 bulb ATI sunpower has two channels that I run to create the dawn/dusk effect ("blues" going on 1 hour prior and off 1 hour after whites go off)
channel 1 (Blues):
channel 2 (whites):
from back to front
channel 1
channel 2
channel 1
channel 1
channel 2
channel 1
the order I was thinking is:
Actinic Blue
Aquablue Azure
Fiji Purple
Super Actinic
Aquablue Azure
Blue +
My question is what is the best order for these bulbs to be in and should the dawn/dusk effect still be used with this combo or should they just all come on at the same time, open to all suggestion?
The order looks good to me. You want to make sure that you get an even spread and don't put similar bulbs next to each other which you have done for the most part. Other than that it is really up to your personal preference. For dawn/dusk...I would still do it but not sure the aquablues are best for this. May want to try the blue bulbs in those slots but again it is your preference
