Configuring Lighting Curve

[Lightnewbie]

Hi all,  I have a CTB16PC. Do I need to configure the lighting curve?

Generally no.

The only time I would change a lighting curve (with  HU), is to make it On/Off  (only on Gen3) for Strobes or other strings with built in controllers. I set ports 15+16 to On/Off and put a red PTOUCH label on the cover AND a Red Zip tie near the outlet trying to thwart my previous stupidity that wiped out an expensive string when I set HU to Shimmer All 😭

I only using lighting curves in the prop definition of Preview.  I set all my LED strings to 30%, as anything brighter I cannot video it (it is like a million little suns).  I think for my PixCon16 I seem to remember setting the max intensity via the Network Utility (I only did it once and may have forgotten the actual steps).

I use the lighting curves for my Pixie Controllers in the prop definition of my Preview.  I set all my pixels to 30%. My (2) PixCon16's max intensity is setup in the hardware settings, not S5.
