      I need some help with APEX programming with VDM and Kessil 360

      hello. I could use a little help. I have the Kessil360 and VDM installed correctly. When connecting the VDM, the apex created 6 new tabs on my Apex "dashboard". Blue_led , WhiteLed and the 4 variable dimming tabs (V1/V2) & (V3/V4). My first question - is there a way to delete the ones im not using? I believe I read that the BlueLed and WhiteLed are for a different light such as a radeon or something. Im only using V1/V2. Its not critical but it would make my dashboard a little nicer and easier to use if I could delete the others. On to programming the light - Varspd 1 (V1) is spectrum while V2 is Brightness/intensity. I understand how to program the Brightness throughout the day. It should start low and increase to high or full and then ramp back down to low again in the evening. However I am not familiar with the spectrum or V1 settings. Is it blue at 0 and work towards white?What im asking is how to ramp the spectrum correctly so I have the correct light at the correct time. My guess is to start at 0 in the morning - then ramp to full 100 and then back down to 0? I think im a newb when it comes to light spectrum.

      No, you cannot delete the 5th and 6th new outlets crated when you connected the VDM. they are for AI Sols and some models of Acan LEDs.

      Thanks Russ. So it is true that I should start more blue and ramp up to white then back down to blue in the evenings. I feel confident with the intensity but not spectrum.

      The spectrum is really your choice... most people it seems, are starting and ending the lighting period with a blue-heavy spectrum and white during the main daylight period in between. I've seen others just stick with the blue-heavy all day.
