Orbit Marine LED lighting schedule acting funny?

Zachjjackson · 03/29/2015, 11:24 PM

I've had two 36" Current LEDs over my new 150 gallon. I've loved them so far except for a couple things that are starting to annoy me.

1. I am on the M1 setting which is on at 8am w/ 15 min sunrise off at 6pm with 15min sunset, and then a 4 hour moonlight...The moonlight for some reason comes back on at like 12:30am or so for like 30 minutes..Why does it do that? Once the moonlight goes off at 10:15 it should stay off all night is my understanding...

2. The clocks always get out of sync! If I don't check them every other day to make sure they're on the same time, they always get out of sync even though every time I set them I make them so they're dead on with each other. And no matter what the clocks ALWAYS run fast, so if I set them for the right time, two days later they'll be at least 5 minutes faster than the real time...

any tips or help for me?

Subbed - having the exact same issues! Would love to see some type of pigtail to tie the two units together on one controller - would at least eliminate the clocks getting out of sync with each other. One of mine gains 3 minutes a day to the other.

Have you tried disconnecting the power for a few minutes. Then plug back in push M1 and reset the clock. If that doesn't work I would contact Current USA support. I have 2 of the Sunsetter's which are pretty much the same and do not experience the problem.
