Help programming led lights

[millersteve383]

I just bought the reef breeders value 120wled. I love it but cannot figure out how to program it. It seems very simple but I am having serious trouble finding anything online Or anywhere on how to program it. Instruction manual got thrown away when I bought it but it didn't have much help anyways. I would greatly appreciate some help if anyone else has the same light.

if you're talking about the value led, then you cannot program it. you can only use the knobs for dimming purposes

I suspect you bought the wrong reef breeder model or had the wrong impression of the capability of the reef breeder value led

the photon or the photon-w series are programmable

I bought it at pure reef for $230. It is programmable but i seriously cannot figure it out. It has a blue channel and a white channel and then another channel to program the time/ and light intensity. If anyone could help I will definitely trade a frag or buy dinner or something! I'm desperate lol!

go to reefbreeders.com website and click FAQ then go to what light intensity question. click on blue highlighted word HERE to download programming directions

I saw that tutorial but my light is not the photon series.. It is the super lux value series

It's not programmable, it just has an interior timer. You can "program" the light to turn on and off at whatever intensity you've set via the dim switch. it won't ramp on and off.

I believe the superlux value series has the ability to program it the same way the photon is programmed.

Exactly what he said. When they call it "programmable"....it really isn't programmable. IMO, it's false advertising. The Value LED series can only be programmed for on and off time and I believe the intensity of each of the channels (one for blue and one for whites). That's all you get.
