How do you decide what INTENSITY level to use? I can't find info on the best setting to start out with &amp; don't know how bright it should be!

I have only used the brightest setting. Of course, you should not look directly at it. (Really you can't, or not for more than a second.) If you are using this lamp for SAD, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want it as bright as possible, unless you suddenly have more energy than you know what to do with! :)

I use the XLEDIA - X60N - A19 - 9.4 Watt - 60 Watt Equivalent - 850 Lumens - Color Temp: 5000k. Since LEDs don't put out much heat I wouldn't think going to a higher watt equivalent would be an issue. I have very high ceilings so I wanted something bright like daylight so I went with the 5000k color temp and meets my needs but certainly not a soft white!

If these are like other Lutrons I've used, you press the main switch and the down switch of the rocker simultaneously for a few seconds and it will begin to blink and enter a 'program' mode which will allow you to adjust how low the low-end brightness range goes. You can tweak it up and down and, when ready, simply click the main button one more time to save your settings.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture:Backlight: 80Contrast: 78Brightness: 56Color: 39Tint: -3Sharpness: 25All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off.Smart Dimming: OnTempest 790 put in a review in June of 2013 and this was his settings. I followed them and then made slight adjustments to fit our viewing. But, They as he left them are great.Hope this helps in your setup.

It seems bright, but at a distance of 4 to 5 feet you'll be shooting at f/ 5.6, ISO 400 And 1/30th to 1/60th of a second. Diffusion would make it almost unusable. Send me an email and I'll send you a photo.

For our application at the church that i pastor we chose to go with the myDMX software package and adapter which we got at Amazon as well. Reason being it appeared to be far more expandable than a traditional lighting board. It was very simple to get them up and running with a couple of basic scenes. I just chose a light profile (I used a generic one. They didn't have these in the list but I emailed support and they are creating a profile) dragged it over to the lighting scene setup which btw, told me each light address so i could set the corresponding light and then I just moved each slider to the color that i wanted. The generic profile only gave me 3 channels but I really didn't need strobing or anything fancy yet til i get the profile from support. Are you using software or a physical light board? I hope this helps. If I can help more please let me know.

The intensity has four different settings: off, dim, medium, and bright. However, the color cannot be adjusted.

The beam is fixed and can't be focused. It is relatively floody but has some throw. As far as intensity, there are 2 modes: high and medium (plus a strobe). It would be useful if the light had a low mode, but it doesn't. The high mode is very bright.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

I have to go with the 230 lumens. Its very bright. You don't want to run it to long on that high setting.

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

Use the aperture priority mode and set +/- exp. to +2. Depending on the light level, try to use the lowest ISO possible. 400+ is likely to be grainy. If you can get away with it, 80-200 looks great in most situations. In a restaraunt, you may be better off using the flash -- perhaps on a lower setting.

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

I didn't understand that either. I hear you can adjust it if you put it into retail mode, but I haven't bothered to do so. Increasing the brightness any takes more energy and shortens the life of the TV anyway.
