MOSRED Do anyone know If I can cut the power off the MOS-RED to turn it off. Or do I need to shut it off with the 2 switches at the top (NIR/RED).

As the title of this thread are saying.
Question:
— Can I shut off only the power of the MOS-RED and let the switches for NIR and RED always be in the on position?

— Is this good for the electronics in the MOS-RED? The fan never stays on for cooling, when I turn the switches to their off position.
But maybe there is some shut of sequence, that is different from just cutting the power when I use the switches?

Maybe this can spare the switches, and it makes it more easy for me to turn MOS-RED on, and shut it off. I'm thinking I can turn it on and off with a remote instead.

If this is safe to do for the longevity of the MOS-RED? I always unplug MOS-RED when I'm done. So it will not turn on by mistake.

@DLD is there a way you can check this with MOS Shop? Or should I send them an e-mail about this?

I don't believe so but you could wire a switch in on the power cord

Okey! So it should be safe to just cut the power.
Yes! Was thinking I could put a remote controlled switch in the outlet.

That sounds even better! This way you do not need to cut cord

Indeed. They are pretty cheap to get.

This did not work. Strange, but the nir led lights was semi on, even when the remote controlled outlet was off.

Best to use the built-in circuit breakers (power on/off switches).

This is something I will talk to Sheena about.

There is no problem. You're supposed to use the switches on the device.
