Also, if your moon simulator times are not set right you will get pitch black or something not right.

That part I have figured out.


The strange thing is, if I load the stock Light Composition that comes with control center, transmit it to the light, the light does its disco strobe light thing to program each channel and immediately shows the correct lighting per the time.

I just composed a brand new light composition, saved it, transmitted it, and BANG, back to the one that is screwed up.

I've tried switching it all back to default setting and trying from there.. nothing seems to make a difference.

To be honest Aqua-Digital, I find the forums over at GHL/Profilux absolutely useless.

I suppose so.. I don't know how, but the test illumination doesn't match what I programmed.. but the actual program in the light is what I want.

I ran into the problem where I had the royal blues selected for "simulation" so as soon as 6:00 hit, my program went completely goofy. If I was sliding the bar across, it looked great at 5:58, 5:59, and then bam, 6:00 it went to a very dim blue. Just so happened I guess that there was virtually no moon present so the simulation turned all the LED's off but about 1% RB.

I deselected the simulation box on all the channels and then the program went exactly as it should have. Oh and to complicate things even more so, when you change the light program there is the large button on the bottom that transmits the new program to the lights, but when you deselect the simulation mode, you have to hit the save changes button at the top near the menu bars. Drove me crazy for a solid hour.

I'm more than happy with the default program that comes with the lights. It is a very natural color and intensity representation. The light composer makes it easy to tweak it a bit if you want to. I've made a few minor color changes and changed the start/end times.
