Lighting Question LED Moonlight & Main Light

I have a Kessil A150 as my main tank light and a simple Blue LED without dimming for my Moonlight

I would like my moon light to come on 2 hours before the main lights and go off 2 hours after the main light

I assume I set both up as standard lights ReefAngel.StandardLights

I also assume there is a way to read the times that the main lights are supposed to start and stop

then test and see if it is 2 hours before and 2 hours after. I would like to track one light from the other so when I make a change to my lighting times that the 2nd light tracks those changes..

after about 2 hours of searching the forums I thought it was time to ask..

You can set one as StandardLights and one as ActinicLights. You can set the schedule for the standard lights and then set the actinic offset to 120

Thank you I just ran the wizard and saw that Silly me... Trying to do things the hard way..

I suppose I could add a line of code that says if the kessil is on turn off the led as well that way the moon light would be off if the main light is on but the time settings would still control it

Weee im having fun now
