I leave one channel on at 1%. 3% on both is too bright for night IMO.

My lights are 6" AWL

I'm probably wrong but I beleive for the lunar schedule to work the lights have to be at 2 or 3% for the lunar schedule to work. I have only the royal blues set for that and not all 3 channels. The lunar schedule actually works pretty good. It still ramps up and down from there. Sometimes its a little bright in the middle of the night and other times it's complete darkness. I have it set so the lunar svhedule is only on the last set timer of the day.

I got tired of trying to shift the time and manage the moonlit cycle, so I just manually built my profiles, running the royal blue @ 1% (ramped down for 30 min) from 11pm to 8am. Then ramps up to full daylight by noon for 8 hours, then back down.
This is all done via an Apex controller.
