3 ways to control the light – Auk Mini

There are 3 ways to control the light on your Auk🌟

1. Hold for 5 seconds to set the light cycle (when Auk turns on).
2. Tap 1x to switch between full light –> soft light –> off.
3. Growing tomatoes/chili? Tap 3x to switch to bloom light.

Auk Mini has only 1 button.

1. Hold for 5 seconds to set the light cycle

Auk Mini has a light cycle: The light is on for 17.5 hrs – and then off for 6.5 hrs.

You can decide when the light cycle starts, by holding the light button for 5 seconds. After you release, the cycle is reset, and the light cycle will start.

You'll see the light turn off and slowly dim back on, which confirms that the cycle has been changed.

Auk Mini's light cycle

Example: You set the light cycle at 7:00 AM. Then, the light will be on until 11:00 PM, and then gradually dim for 45 minutes before it's completely off at 11:45. Then it will turn on from 6:15 -7:00 AM. And then repeat.

Note: We apologize for the error in the paper manual stating the light is on for 16 hours (this does not account for the dimming time). We are updating this information.

2. Tap 1x to switch between full light –> soft light –> off

Tap 1x to switch to soft light, 1x more to turn the light off.

The soft light creates a cozy vibe, perfect for dinner parties 😊

The light will always turn back on with full light the next day (the start of the next light cycle).

3. 3x-tap to switch to bloom light

The light will blink twice to confirm the change. In bloom light, the light is on for 13.5 hours and off for 10.5 hours (and not 17.5/6.5 as in white light).

Tap 3x again to get back to white light.

Not sure which setting is active? Unplug the power, and it will start back up with white light (the default mode).
