24/7 Sunrise and Sunset Mode
This mode provides a natural light cycle for your aquarium. In this mode, the light operates in full spectrum, and brightness cannot be manually adjusted. The cycle is divided into four stages:
- Stage 1 (Sunrise): Light brightness gradually increases from 5% to 100% over 3 hours.
- Stage 2 (Daylight): Maintains 100% brightness for 6 hours.
- Stage 3 (Sunset): Light brightness gradually decreases from 100% to 5% over 3 hours.
- Stage 4 (Night): Light transitions from 5% full spectrum to 5% blue light mode and maintains for 4 hours, then turns off.
