    Thank you for all the suggestion. Sounds like the APEX wins. Also, I have seen their description. It says that it has the ability to do Sunset/Sunrise for dimmable LED fixtures. Are these only for certain brands? or for any dimmable LED?

    thanks




    I wonder where the ReefKeepers people are.....hmmmmmm

    The dimming functions are in a 0-10v format. As long as the lights or pumps you are using can receive a 0-10v signal it will work.

    Many pre-manufactured lights do not work like this, but on the other hand there are a TON of ones that do. And if you diy, then you can easily get drivers that use this kind of dimming input.

    DIY, reefbreeders (who is a sponsor here) and I think Orphek and ecoxotic all do. I am sure there are others too
