I had some fun programming my controller... maybe a little too much?
My times change daily, generally 8 - 12 hours. sunrise/sunset times are from Australia so that summer has short days here(less halide heat), winter has long days. I offset the sunrise/sunset times by 3 hours so that I'm awake when everything turns on/off. actinic - sunrise to sunset (10 - 14 hours) Left Halide - sunrise + 1 hour to sunset - 3 hours Right Halide - sunrise + 3 hours to sunset - 1 hour Center Halide - sunrise + 2 hours to sunset -2 hours Today the actinics where on from 9:18am - 10:10pm, each halide was on for 8hours 52 min. The controller was pretty good through the summer, I'll have to see how all the extra light does in the winter. Temperature's stayed great through the summer as well. I live in Vancouver though, so I guess I should still expect a heat wave this year, and also some snow in late may :S.
