Thinking of getting 2 of the 25w versions of these for my tank to replace the cheap ebay ones I put in when my light broke.

Anyone have a pair of these? My question is...
These are controlled by a phone app, with 2 identical lights will the app control both and differentiate between them?

One other thing please mate, can you have it on more than one device? If I'm away for instance, how does the wife operate?

Yes you can mate. If you set the timers no one needs to touch them.

Cool thanks, I've been thinking I need to do the timer thing and have the lights set for certain times. Trouble is I'm up at 5am weekdays so have the light on for an hour before I leave, to make sure everything is alright, then in the evening for around 5 hours when we're all home and want to watch. Weekends I dont get up so early though. I guess I could set all that up for different days

Hello mate, could you give me a screenshot of your light set up please. I've got it to time on/off but cant see how you make that a gradual on and gradual off. At the moment its boom on full and boom off full.

If I remember correctly you need to create at least 4 time points. For gradual ramp up leave the first point at 0% and set the time you want it to come on at, then set the second point to what ever percentage you want the colour at and set the time you want it to be at that percentage. For gradual ramp down do the same but in reverse. You can set each colour to different percentages. I hope that makes sense. See screen shot if that helps.
