Tunze moon light & output

I have a couple of questions. I purchased a TS24 set-up a couple of months ago. the first questions is about the moon light function. Does the intensity of the led change over the 29 day period or is this a constant intensity? I have a 60 inch long tank so the one light is really not enough but thought I would try it to see what happens.
Second question: As I mentioned above my tank is 60 inches long 18 high and 18 wide. I have the two 6101's turned way down as they would blow everything off the rock if I crank them up.
I have mostly soft and LPS corals. I don have a couple SPS's but they are placed high in the tank. Is it better to turn them down almost all the way with the 24V chip in them or is it better to swith to the 15V and run them at a higher setting? Does either one effect the life of the pump?
 
Yes, the intensity changes. If you mount it at a slight downward angle on the end of the tank, it will be enough, it is just a moonlight and is not for night viewing, it is a very dim light source. Neither setting will affect pump life but you certainly get better functionality from the 7095 with 15V and being able to use the full range and pulse from 30-100% then you would with 24V and being able to only do 30-50%.
 
Thanks for the reply. Now I know what I will be doing this evening. Switching chips and annoying the fish.........
