3- KZ Fiji Purple (plug 2 )
4- KZ Coral Light 10K
5- ATI Blue Plus
6- ATI Blue Plus (plug 2)
7- ATI Aquablue Special
8 - ATI Blue Plus

it seems most do there dawn/dusk like this :

2 bulbs on then all 8 bulbs on...
just wondering, why not do 2 bulbs on then 6 bulbs on then all 8 on ?
thanks !
Not sure I understand the question completely. Why not go from 2 to 6 to 8? The fixture has 2 power cords. One runs 2 bulbs and the other runs the other 6 bulbs.

So you can run 2 and then all 8 or you run 2 bulbs, turn them off, turn on the 6 bulbs and then have the 2 come on again later.
