Hi Everyone. I recently set up 5 Orphek iCons over my 450g tank. Using the app, I set the same programmed schedule for all 5 lights. The issue I’m having, is all lights randomly shut off at 8:00pm instead of following the schedule. There is no ramp down, it just goes from bright lighting to completely off. Lights have been running for about a week, so they’ve definitely cycled through a full programming. Any ideas what could be causing the issue? Thanks in advance for any help!
Orphek iCon not following schedule

Was also thinking that maybe you need to makde sure you upgrade the firmware on each of them and reset each fixture. Its odd to turn off like that and the program is not showing it. You may need to contact Orphek about it.
I an a new Icon Atlantik owner, as well as new to LED's. I just got back in the hobby after about 10 years. I always had MH, T5, VHO on my past tanks.
I find my light doesn't aways follow thew schedule. Programming seems daunting as well. Orphek customer service was great prior to making the purchase. Now, not so much.
I do like the light, but I think I see Radion's in my future.

Yeh, I found a few challenges between using the app and lights’ response.
What worked for me:
Old computer guy here, and found you sometimes need to apply the old “power cycle the box” to provide some incentive to the system. After a firmware upgrade I went through re-discovery of all of the lights, all of the above steps, and they still didn’t want to play nicely despite showing the preferred program being used. I disconnected each of the lights from the outlets (yes, a hard cold start) and all worked as “designed”.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

What worked for me:
- Create the light program and save it
- Add all the lights to a group
- Go to the group you’ve just added all the lights to and click on the icon that looks like a “bulleted list” in the middle of the screen to find the program you’ve just saved
- Click on apply
