AI light settings

TimothyJ · 04/15/2012, 01:03 AM

I was curious if any one had figured out what different settings on an AI light equated in regards to bulb temp rating (Example, but not a true corilation: 75% White 65 Blue 85 Royal is 15k)? And maybe this is not possible with the lights having different LED pucks, etc. Just a thought.

Not a clue. I have mine at W55, B60, RB65 and like the way it looks, all corals are happy

This is the answer someone got from AI Support regarding the same question.

Hope that help.

I have a SOL super blue module. Can you tell me what settings I would use to achieve a 20k metal halide color? What would be the spread in percentage between the three. I am assuming the intensity would just help to emulate a 150 or 200 watt etc. metal halide but I need to know how much white blue and royal blue would get to the 20k color.

Hello Henry,

At 100 intensity, the Sol Blue is the equivalent to a 270W MH and a spectrum of 20K. I believe that if you were to do equal settings on your intensities you will be seeing that 20K appeal. For example: 30 30 30/ 50 50 50 etc.

Regards,
