I'm just curious to hear what other people are doing with their radions. I love a blue spectrum so my first initial setup is mostly blue, but with all the flexibility with this fixture I'm curious how you run your lights through the course of the day. Anyone change the spectrum completely as the day goes on? I'd love to hear.
 
I was pretty confused trying to program my radion, so I called EcoTech last Friday morning and Jon help setup a program.
It is one of the 4 week acclimation programs. Starts out pretty blue ( actinic) at 9am and goes to a ( my guess is a 16-18k) at about 3pm and starts ramping down until 9pm, but he did add the lunar cycle.
The intensity is at 40% ( ran a couple weeks in basic at 35% ) and will go to a max of 63% by the end of 4 weeks.
 
Here's a pic of my DIY (on the left) vs my new radion (on right)

I was happy with my DIY, but it doesn't compare to the radion! I use Jon's (from ecotech) custom configuration.
 
I start mine at 6k then it go to 10k. I run it at 12k for 7hrs then it start to go to 20k in the evening. I like to run different spectrum for different affect
 
Sounds like Jon's a popular guy. So sounds like people are running a variation. Anyone run heavy on red or green for portion of the day?
