Hi Aquattro,
You have full control via an iphone/ipad/idevices WiFi application, this includes six channel independent dimming, timers and storm. You program it and the fixture will run that way until you change the program. The idevice app is the only one available for now, but an Android and a web portal will be available in the near future.
For those who do not use I-devices, the lights come with built in six channel manual dimming knobs. So the light is controllable without the app but you can not access the storm mode.
Sunbrite is not a new company. They have been building reef leds since 2008-2009. The first ones out I believe were the SunBrite T10 bulbs with integrated leds. these

Yupp, they ran some par tests, they got Up to 200Par on the
bottom of a 65Gal (36"x18x24") tank. Lets put aside all the storms, lighting..and all that jazz and talk about what really matters. Light and how much of it. These things are getting 200 par at the bottom with no optics! They come with Cree XPG 5W LEDS and 3W LEDS. For example, the 48” comes with 20 5W XPE, 44 3W XPE, 4 3W orsam red and 8 1W UV’s. That is a LOT of light for $1000.
I will report back with controller
compatibility as soon as I get a reply.
thanks,
Ray

To me, it sounds like this is a new manufacturer that built a light that doesn't do much other than thundering/lightning effects, apparently while you sit there with your iphone. What about matching it to sunrise profiles? Building in ramp up /ramp down sequences?
Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I don't see the point (yet).
Do they have advertised PAR profiles for the light? Does it come with a stock controller for those of us that don't have apple products? Lots of questions, not a lot of answers.
