Hi guys,

If I can drag this thread back from the dead... I just bought a second hand T247, but unfortunately Channel 1 doesn't seem to work. I can programme and dim Channel 2 just fine, but using identical settings for Channel 1 only produces the tiniest glimmer of light from the LEDs, regardless of intensity setting. I'm guessing it's faulty, but just wanted to check there wasn't anything un-obvious in the settings which might be causing this?

Cheers,
Tom

Can I set the ch 1 from 0900 to 2100 and the ch 2 at 1200-1700? Or do I need to have ch 1 lights off and program ch 2 for later than ch 1 on and off?
I've tried to set these lights forever and just won't work! Your directions are far superior to ones I received on box however still hasn't got it right. Can anyone help?

hello there, just wanted to if the channels on the t247 can be run simultaneously? or does it have to be one at a time? if so what channel and at what intensity do you recommend running during the day and what channel at night? thanks in advance for your advice!

REENZ and Jose.hern. The T247 channels are completely independent of each other, so you can set each one to turn on and turn off any time you want.

One tip is to wait for the screen to reset after you make any changes. It takes 3 to 5 seconds. If you try to rush it, you just get things screwed up.

Run both channels during the day. I recommend you run the blue channel at 50% higher than the white. Something like white at 40% and blue at 60%. Then adjust to your get the look you want. There are no moonlights on this fixture. Even just the blue channel at 1% is too bright for moonlight.

Good luck.
