Hey everyone,

My friend and I just received orbit light fixtures. My fan turns on with the actinic bulbs, my friend's fan turns on with the regular white light. Should I flip my bulbs around so the fan is linked to the white bulbs? I assumed the white ones get hotter and require the fan whereas the blue ones can run fanless.

I could be wrong!
 
if your whites and blues are the same wattage they run the same, just a different spectrum.
 
I run my fan when the acitinics come on and for a 1/2 hour after lights out ... I would just continue with the set up ...
Are you running dusk to dawn effect ?if so just leave it go it wont hurt it but do run it while all your lights are on , daylight and acitinic .
