4.2 Manual Mode

For advanced users, the manual mode allows you to customize each of the four channels (Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, Ch4) independently. Adjust the intensity of each channel to achieve your desired spectrum and brightness. The manual setting will remain active until you exit this mode.

4.3 24-Hour Cycle Programming

Program up to 8 time points within a 24-hour cycle to simulate natural lighting conditions, including sunrise, sunset, and moon phases. This feature allows for gradual changes in light intensity and color temperature throughout the day.

4.4 Lunar Cycle and Acclimation

Activate the 29-day lunar cycle to simulate natural moon intensity. The acclimation schedule allows corals, fish, and plants to gradually adapt to the new lighting environment by starting at a lower intensity and increasing it over a set period.

4.5 Group Control System

If you have multiple PopBloom lights, you can connect and control up to 10 lights simultaneously through the app, simplifying management for larger setups.
