Adding Mitras to existing pair - acclimation

[BeanAnimal]

@Lasse

Maybe you have thoughts?

I have two 7206. I purchased a 7204 to go in between them. I don't want to just plug it in and shock everything with too much light.

1 - can the P4 control this light temporarily on its own? The idea being to set same spectrum but ramp it from 0 to 100% over a few weeks or months.

2 - if not and it must follow the same schedule as the other two mitras. I would use a par meter to get levels at various points with the TWO existing mitras. Add the 7204 and dim the curve until the par matched. I would then set acclimation from whatever that level is to 100% over a month or whatever. Does that sound like it would work?

3 - Don't add mitras to P4 and set manual levels, increasing from 0% to 100% using the dashboard for the light. Once it is at 100% THEN add it to existing P4 control?

I would do number 3 Set it as its own master - change to slave when it is time for that

Thanks Lasse - appears to be the easiest and makes most sense. I will let you know how it goes...

Thought about purchasing extra boards and replacing the reds or greens (or wherever I can get forward current and voltage to match) with 395/400nm

IMO - the green and red is the secret behind Mitras good performance. I would instead get another black light source - like this
