I'm interested to see that you never have any 0% have you tried complete dark for a few hours? Any posative or negative affects of leaving the moons on at some percent all the time?

Mine ramps up with from 9am-1pm and holds steady until it ramps down from 5pm-9pm.
Moonlights are on from 9pm to 1am.

I have 4 channels
V ~70%
RB ~70%
CBR ~60%
W ~30%
 
moons encourages/simulates night life. I've read arguments for both sides of turning it off for a couple of hours vesus not, and topics going into lunar cycles and all that. I just choose to leave them on at a very low level, have not really see any bad side effects. Makes it a little easier to look at stuff in the middle of the night, even though I do have my flashlight readily available. :)
 
i don't have a set schedule yet cause i just got the fixture a few weeks ago so im still ramping them but i like the idea of always having some shimmer.
 
My lights come with a factory setting. 8 hours without l 2014-02-15 08.26.45.jpgight.
