    I am missing where it says they are dimmable? Is there a way to add a dimmer to these?

    It doesn't; I asked them on their facebook page.

    You can buy the inline dimmer for $15 on their site, under LED Components --> LED Accessories.

    I see now that it's also on the product page for the stunner strip...last item on the list.

    One 12.5" strip, a reflector, a transformer, extension cable, and inline dimmer comes to $80.80.

    Seano,

    I will reply to your PM tonight, but the dimmer is not computer (PWM) controlled. You set it and forget it. I would personally not to the eBay strip posted above. As I am sure you know, you always want to know what LEDs are being used on your coral.

    The in-line dimmer is exactly like a light dimmer, theres a little knob and you can make it brighter or dimmer.

    Thanks for the feedback, Biocube.

    I want something that has more control-ability than my par30s currently offer, so that's why I'm looking into the stunner strip.

    I don't have a controller right now, but I plan to eventually get an Apex Jr. sometime in the future. I know Ecoxotic said the stunner strips can be dimmed via a controller to create sunrise/sunset effects.
