hello,
In case of power cutoff is there any mode in which the lights will turn on at full brightness when the power comes back? for example if previous state was set at full brightness?
Hi dragos,
If you set the full brightness of light, it will remember and restart with the setting in case of power cutoff in any mode.
Thanks

Hi,
I have recently purchased the hg999 model.
Can you recommend colour settings for a planted aquarium. I.e what percentage rgb to bring out best colours from the plants,thanks
Hi Kenny,
Compared with fish, plants highly demand light spectrum. The red light, blue light, and green light make sense for plant growth.
About tanks with tropical fish and plants, you can set lighting time about 10–12 hours per day.

Re-bonsoir
J’oubliais il s’agit du modèle Modèle HG-999. Pourrai-je débuter en bleu pour le lever (11h) et rouge pour le soir (20h)? Ou tout reste blanc pour F1?
En combien de temps s’effectue la progression ou la diminution ?
Merci par avance.
Bonjour ! Vos besoins en lumière peuvent être satisfaits en mode 53. De plus, il faut 15 minutes pour l’allumer ou l’éteindre lentement.
Merci à vous,
équipe hygger
Hello! Your light needs can be met under 53 mode. Also, it takes 15 minutes to slowly turn on or off.
Thanks you,
