I am not sure if this has been asked but what kind of led's are you using and any guess on PAR.

The LED panels were a cheap EBay purchase, not sure of the wattage per LED or the par. I thought I would give them a try simply because it's a FOWLR.

Well so far I have found the Profilux to be easier to program the power bar because you can hook it to a laptop.

If someone that has an Apex can tell me how to program the power bar that would be great, I am test driving this unit for Oxymoron but have one coming for my FOWLR.

The Apex can be plugged into your router with an ethernet cable (provided) and accessed over a web browser by typing in its IP address... but I actually programed all of mine with the display unit. Without knowing the programing language and what all of my options were I found the web interface to be only useful for very basic programs and making modifications. Even though I owned an ACIII for several years it took me a while to figure out how to work with the Apex. Unfortunately I got it all figured out before I discovered the 'easy to read' new user guide here: http://reeftech.webs.com/
