    i received my Vlink in today and WOW this light has so many options i didn't know where to begin, the fact that you could actually do a cloud and thunder storm is amazing. Also installed some red modules, here is a few pictures.

    [​IMG]
    In the center is the new red module.

    [​IMG]
    the tool vertex sent to press them onto the heatsink.

    [​IMG]
    All 3 red modules installed, next will be some UV modules maybe green haven't decided.

    [​IMG]
    After installing the new modules the light came on at 100% and yeah i was blind after that lol but you can see the red.

    [​IMG]
    easy firmware update

    [​IMG]
    Now comes all the options there is everything from intensity of color to moon cycles. Making the ramp up from left to right. Cloud coverage how many times a day, probability of lightning in the clouds. Just so many things if anyone would like to see something in particular on the light let me know. Thanks
