Default Another AI SOL thread

Just wondering if anyone has found info regarding light intensity and k rating for these. Ie what ratio of blue to royal blue to white equals 10k 12 k etc? Can this be done via computer? I haven't gotten a micro usb yet.

Also has anyone done the lens mod on the 40%?

Thanks in advance.

Ya on the controller. Its just a firmware update for minor bug fixes and control wheel sensitivity.

Well after a few emails back and forth with ai they have decided i got a bad controller and are going to send me a new one. At first i wasn't too pleased with how they dealt with this, but now i am quite happy. Anytime someone is willing to replace something who can complain. Great service via their website.

The outside lenses have 70° optics while the inside 4 only have 40°optics. It creates a spotlight effect directly under the light. I don't think it would be very noticeable if running multiple unites but i only run a single. Im actually doing an order this week as they are sending me a replacement controller. The new lenses are relatively cheap. I think 25$ for the four. If interested i may allow piggybackers on this order.
