    Question Keep Light Outlet ON during Maintenance feed cycle D (Fallback Off Set Off)

    I have Feed Cycle D set up for my maintenance mode but I am having an issue with programming my White light outlet to turn on while this mode is active, and return to automatic when it ends and/or is canceled. This issue is primarily due to Fallback and Set for the outlet being "Off" vise "ON" so I cannot use "If FeedD 000 Then OFF" Any ideas what I can add to the code below:

    Outlet/Output "DAYLIGHT_2"

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 10:00 to 18:00 Then ON
    If Tmp > 79.0 Then OFF
    Min Time 000:01 Then OFF
    If FeedD (UNSURE WHAT TO PUT HERE??)

    A secondary thing of note, if this is a florescent or halide fixture the min time then OFF line should be 5 or 15 minutes respectively or you will burn it up the first time your tank gets gets 79F. You could also remove the temp line completely if it's not a high wattage bulb (above 200W).

    Zombie, man, you are awesome! I swear you should get paid for all of your input on this site. And thanks for the advice on the time/temp. This light is 25X3W LEDs so I'm not to worried about the off time (I guess I could remove that line all together), but it does put out a little heat which is why I have the 79 degree line in there.
