How it works: Light schedules and programs
A light schedule is composed of either one or many 24 hour light cycles. All cycles can start at anytime,
meaning they can cross midnight. For example, a light cycle can run from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am without
interruption at midnight.
Alight program is composed of light schedules. When making a light program, the animal age must be
considered to choose the light schedules composing the program. Switching from schedule A to schedule
B always happens at midnight. When the program switches between two schedules with different light
intensities at the same hour, the transition is smooth while ramping down the intensity of the ending
schedule to the intensity of the beginning schedule.
