I tried this over on R/C but thought it might get more input here....
Ok here's my set-up:
4x54w T5 (Non Dimmable)
2x150w MH (non Dimmable)
1x Simu-L stick (Sunrise, Moon, Storm)
PII+ FW: 5.03a
White Simu Illum #1
Red Simu Illum #2
T5's Illum #3
MH's Illum #4
Only my Simu-Stick is "Dimmable" so I'm wondering:
Is there any "Advantage" to activating Rainy Days & Clouds in the Controller if my lights aren't dimmable?
Does this function just dim the lights or turn them OFF?
If it turns them off how is the OFF time controlled? I don't want the MH or T5's flickering off & on every few minutes.
Under Rainy Days:
Darkening % - Is that how much it's darkened as in 100% would be total darkening and 0% is NO darkening?
As far as Clouds go . . is that a feature that's really designed for full dimmable units so you can dim "across the tank" simulating a cloud passing by? Any reason I would check that if I don't have dimmable lights?
