Vertex Illumina Light Studio Programming Thread

I've had my 260/1500 for a little over a year. Been toying trying to find the best program for color. This is a screen shot of my current programming. Let me know what you think.

Hi there. Just wondering if you could share your program with me? I'm not very good with the whole oc thing etc but am really struggling with setting my light up :0( I would appreciate some help but under stand if you can't. Many thanks David. Daveycoopa@hotmail.com
 
Ok, so Im having big problems. ever since i got my light Ive never been able to program it. jamie even sent me 3 light files and they all uploaded to the light correctly, but at nights the lights still wont turn off. Its a shame I have a $3000 light hooked up to a timer. Can anyone help with this? If someone sends me their working file and I upload it and it still doesnt work then I def. have a defective light. Please help.
 
OK, I know you must have done that already but let me tell you what I do every time after I change the program settings:

1. Copy the program to the light.
2. Save the program somewhere on my computer.
3. Click on the Start-Up button.
4. Exit the V-link application.
5. Turn off the power of the light fixture, wait for 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
6. Open the V-link application and click on the Day Program on the app, make sure that the graph it fetches from the light is exactly the same that you have previously programmed.
7. Exit the V-link app, no need to save anything even if it prompts you to.

Good luck.
 
That is actually a very good question!

I always check the date, time, and days to full moon settings whenever I change the program settings. Date is always accurate, but the time and days to full moon settings are almost always off, esp. the days to full moon.
 
Ok notclear im going to give it a try tonight.derganc, time info is set properly. Thanks guys for ur reply. Ill let u know what happens.
 
something is def. wrong. I even Installed a multicolour module and its not showing up. If I go to expert light studio all I see is royal, blue, and white. really weird. Must be a bad fixture! Its holding the program, but not working properly. Everynight tank is blue and moon settings are off. and now new multicolour module wont show up.
 
I believe you have done so, but I think there is no harm to ask: have you installed the latest software and firmware that can be downloaded from Vertex's web site?
 
Also make sure you do a "complete" update of all your led pads. Light will do crazy things if all the pads are not updated.
 
I checked and firmwares are good. the vlink is 1967 and the illumina firmware is 2.092. im not sure about the pads, i dont see an update for those.
 
The desktop software is version 100.00

I didnt find a video to update the pads. also on my multicolour pad I only see 1 led lit. its red. and I have no control over that pad.
 
ok i dont know whats going on. but i noticed ive always been programming at a time when the lights should be off. so finally programmed when the lights shoud be on , and it worked. my multicolour module still doesnt show up though.
 
You must make sure that your VertexLink Desktop software is at version 2007. to check, open the Desktop software, from the menu bar, click on "?", then select About. If it is not Version 2007, update it.

Also the firmware update video is on that link and I don't know why can't you see it. Check this direct link for the video:

Ok notclear, i see where we're had miscommunication. Totally my fault. Im on mac. the last version is 1970. so i am on the latest for mac. I did the firmware update on all the pads. so no multicolour pad option. next move it to check if its installed properly. I thought it was since there was one red light on. but not sure.
 
Hi guys,

There are Red, Green and WarmWhite colors in the menu but but no light when set them even to 100%.


Thanks
 
Have you gone into your menu and used the action "light studio"? If not, try that and see if your menu program is communicating with your light.

Do you have the red, green, or warm white modules? I believe they only come with blue, royal blue, and white. At least my SR260 did.
