Using Main Lights as Moonlights

Post by Lionfan »

I have 4 CT Lite LEDs on my system.
They have 3 channels.
Blue, Violet, and White.
Instead of running the RA moonlights to them, I would like to use the blue and violet channels as moonlights.
No more than at 5% intensity, and have it go off the same schedule as the Moon Phrase.
Has anyone done this yet?

Its doable. You wont have much range with only 5% but we could map MoonPhase which returns 0-100 to 0-5 to translate that. What ports are you using? We could map on the Raw values so depending we could actually have 0-12 or 0-204 steps depending on built-in or expansion ports.

Now that I'm looking at the tank, I could prob do up to 10%
Port 1 and 2 on the expansion are the dimming ports I would be using.

How would I code this?

Parabola? Slope? Or you just want the conversion to scale it?
