4.2. Remote Control Pairing

To ensure the remote control functions correctly, it needs to be paired with the light unit. This process only needs to be done once.

1. Ensure the light unit is powered on.
2. Locate the small hole next to the control panel on the light unit.
3. Insert a thin needle or a similar pointed object into this hole.
4. While the needle is inserted, press any button on the remote control. The light unit's display should respond, indicating successful pairing.

5. Operating Modes

The Phlizon aquarium light offers three distinct lighting modes to cater to different aquatic needs. You can switch between these modes using the "Mode" button on the control panel or the remote control.

• 5.1. L001 Mode (Red + Green + White Lights)

  This mode activates a combination of red, green, and white LEDs, providing a full spectrum light suitable for general growth and vibrant coloration. This mode is ideal for daytime viewing and promoting plant photosynthesis.

• 5.2. L002 Mode (Blue Light)

  This mode primarily uses blue LEDs, which are essential for the growth of corals (LPS/SPS) and marine fish. It simulates moonlight conditions and enhances the natural fluorescence of corals.

• 5.3. L003 Mode (All Lights On)

  This mode combines all available LEDs (red, green, white, and blue) for maximum brightness and a comprehensive spectrum. It is suitable for periods requiring intense light, such as peak growth phases for demanding corals.

6. Timing Function Setup

The built-in timer allows you to set specific times for sunrise, sunset, and moonlight modes, creating a natural light cycle for your aquarium.

1. 6.1. Setting Local Time

   Press the Dimming Button (light bulb icon) on the remote. Then use the Left/Right arrows to adjust hours and Up/Down arrows to adjust minutes. Confirm by pressing the Dimming Button again.

2. 6.2. Setting Sunrise Time

   Press the Time Setting button (clock icon) on the remote. The display will show "SUNRISE". Use the arrow buttons to set your desired sunrise time (e.g., 07:00). Press the Time Setting button again to confirm.

3. 6.3. Setting Sunset Time

   After setting sunrise, press the Time Setting button again. The display will show "SUNSET". Use the arrow buttons to set your desired sunset time (e.g., 19:00). Press the Time Setting button again to confirm.

4. 6.4. Setting Moonlight Mode Time

   Press the Time Setting button one more time. The display will show "MOONLIGHT". Use the arrow buttons to set the time for moonlight mode (e.g., 20:00). Press the Time Setting button again to confirm and exit timing setup.

Once set, the light will automatically transition between modes at the programmed times. For example, if sunrise is 07:00, sunset is 19:00, and moonlight is 20:00, the light will be on from 07:00-19:00, and then enter moonlight mode at 20:00.
