Hi all was looking to find out is there a way to calibrate the LEDs on my fixture? The reason I ask is because I am getting so really low Par readings and was think that maybe the LEDs need calibration.
Thanks
Michael

Give us a full set of screen shots of your lighting program please, iv had a brief look at it, don't expect to get things right at the first attempt,
From 0845 untill 1200 you have HV and royal blue only, running at 100% and 71%
Then from 1200 untill 1300 you have blue at 44%, white at 11%, true green at 13% and white at 5%
Then to be fair, you don't have a lot more going on untill they ramp off at 2100
It's looking like you are trying to run a blue only program which will not give you high par readings, have a look at the preinstalled templates to try and get a feel of how the programming works.
Unless up want to kill all your corals, I would suggest you take the lamps off of high output until your corals adapt, run at 75-80% for a while and ramp up very slowly over a number of months.
That's just my take matey

Hello Everyone,
thanks for all the help, Here are a few pictures that will show my set up, I was running a radion G1 with TIR lens for almost a year at 65% TO 70 % and I was getting close to 200 PAR at the same exact spot. I am not comparing the two lights and the Mitras is defiantly better I am just saying.
I will lower the intensity as you have suggested but I don't see how that will help, But as the par reading are very low, But I will follow your instructions. If you have a file that is more on the blue side please share with me so I can try and use it and try and see what I did wrong.
Let me know what else I can do as I want to start getting more SPS but need to ensure that my file is correct. Also is there a way to calibrate the LEDS or is that just not needed?
By the way I love my mitras and would never go back radions.
Michael

Try bringing the rest of the LEDs into play, you have one LED at 100% and another at 11%, use the rest of them to increase par.
Don't worrie too much as they do take practice lmao,
