Well I have another question the instructions is lacking and maybe im not used to the fancy light. The lights coming on at 7am and I cant for the life of me figure out how to load a light setting or change it.

When you get it connect to the control center, go into the light composer. load up a default profile, pick the time that you want to modify, select color temp, and intensity.

once all change to your liking, upload it to the mitras.

oh really that easy let me go try that/

So it's been 4-5 months since I turned the Mitras on. I think there are at least a few updates I have to do... Since I have two Mitras do I update one at a time or can I wire one in and it will auto update the other at the same time?

Thanks.

I have one on a 36x32x24 and I have light overspill You will have good coverage at that size.

Hint - when setting schedule make sure you have a 0% intensity stop time and a 0% intensity start time unless you want the lamp on all night

for example

11pm - 0% intensity - 14k temp
7am - 0% intensity - 14k temp

Two reasons

1. Using older software (the firmware is embedded into the software)
2. You missed a step when doing the firmware update, i.e not power cycling the lamp after the update is finished)

Hint - Windows has a habit of overlapping USB ports so sometimes when you plug a USB device in it will not connect due to a conflict - blame windows and dont shoot the messenger either Simply remove the USB cable, wait a few moments, reconnect and keep your fingers crossed. If it still wont connect make sure windows has not run off with the COM port, go to device manager and make sure the COM port is still the same.
