I'm hoping someone can shed some "light" to my question :-) I have Timer 1 set at 11am to W 5% B 10% and RB 15% with a ramp up time of 240 minutes. However, I checked at 12:40pm and all bulbs have reached their mark way before the ramp up time. Is there a minimum or standard at which each bulbs increment per hour or minute so that even if I had set the ramp up time at 240 minutes it will reach it earlier than that? Thanks.
