What features would you like to see on a light?

Cord management!

Still surprising that in 2024 virtually every manufacturer doesn't try to make their cords more hidden.

It can't be that hard to come up with a hidden cord light/mount combo.

I don't think it would be hard, but it would certainly add expense to an already overpriced product.

I'll approach it this way -- my AI Primes are perfect for what "I" want:
- Easy to program spectrum/intensity/ramping (times) -- iPhone over Bluetooth works fine
- Lightweight so easy to DIY mount
- Schedules are easy to download if you want to try something ready-to-go (made by someone with more experience),,, and can easily scale the intensity as desired
*problem free (so far)

How about a light that uses a recording of last years spectral data from a point on a South Pacific reef where corals are thriving?

The tilt of the sun near the equator would be automatically incorporated, more or less so now all you need is to select the depth settings of the tank the light is mounted over and get used to only 12 hours of illumination in the tank room.

Bonus points for the ability to set an acclimation cycle for the places where you are adding be corals and an AI scanner to evaluate the health of the corals and adjust the lighting accordingly without any meddling with WiFi or other dials that cause so many failures when folks get new corals.

I don’t want to pay the price for this dream, so I’m going back to sleep now.
