GHL Mitras Configuration

[freemchr]

After taking a while to learn how to configure lighting with the GHL Profilux have now gone and purchased the GHL Mitras Lights x 5.

The way I used to have my lighting was configured as follows:

GHL Simu L Lights:

Blue / White LED
Start 4:30am
Finish 10:00am

RED LED
Start 6:00am - Increase in Brightness to Finish.
Finish 10:00am

Actinic Lights

Start: 10:00am Increase in Brightness to Finish.
Finish: 12:00pm
Start: 7:00pm Decrease in Brightness to Finish
Finish: 10:00pm

Metal Halide Lights:

Start: 12:00pm
Finish: 7:00pm

So basically I want to configure the lights to do as above or even something similar.

I want it to start in the morning at a dull rate (morning colour) from about 6:00am and get brighter till 12:00pm then at full brightness till 7:00pm then get darker till 10:00pm then off. I then want the moonlight to stay on till 4:30am and then completely off and start the schedule again.

I want to include cloud cover, lightning and storms and any other options as well.

Any advice on how to configure this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

we recommend to use the light composer

a good start is to read the manual for the GHL Control Center:

Thanks for this. I have read the manual and other documentation but still confused.

What I would like to at least do at the moment is extend the lighting schedule to start dimming at 7pm - 10pm then have the moonlights on at 10pm.

The way it currently works with the default light composer is dim to 7pm and then turn off and put the moonlights on at 7pm. This is way too early as it is not even dark outside here till around 8:30 - 9pm at least.

Any help is appreciated.
