Default What % do you have your red and green at

i dont have mitras, and more a diy set up, however want to add green and red led

So now i can putlets say 10 red and 10 green and have them blasting 50% or 5 red and 5 green at 100%

So if you would have them at 50% and you have ..... Number per unit, it gives me some insight in how many i would use at 100%

Reason for this is becouse i have all my dimming drivers in use, and have a few CC drivers left

Hi
You can set the mitras LED channels to anything you wish if you only wish to run reds and greens then this is fine just set the rest of the channels to 0% you can then adjust the red and green channels to any % intensity you wish.

I do understand that each channel can go from 0 to 100

Question is, what douse men have the red and green at,

I know this is preference, however if the average has them at 20%and there would be 7 above a tank, than in my case it would be the same as 1 at 100% (+- whatever my preference is.

Same is if in general thy have them at 50% than i would have some indication that maybe I should use 3 at 100% for each 6 at 50% on he mitras.

Sorry, the factory build units are out of my budget, and i already have a 200+ led rig, that I want to adjust a bit in to a full spectrum Unit

I figured it out! But thanks for the help. I just gave in a reset the factory defaults and then manually re-did my light schedule. Still not sure what the problem was.

Aside from that minor issue, awesome light so far

Can a 6200 play well with 6100?s

On a tank 82" x 30" I'm going to mount three lights. I see lots of people mounting the lights perpendicular to the tank, I was thinking I'd mount them length wise with the tank???

Which way should I mount them?

They can go together but it's better to not have them as master/slave but rather each their own because the channels aren't all the same. I have one 6200 that is master and 2 6100's and I'll be switching the pucks over to 6100. The effect is most noticeable during dusk and dawn that the colours aren't the same. High noon daytime you can't really tell.

I went perpendicular over 72" with 3 units but at 82" length and 3 I would be tempted to try parallel.
