    Thank you. That would mean that they are either on or off. Do you need to adjust the output current as you do with the dimmable drivers?

    I believe it is sealed and pre set. Although I'm not sure, which is bad since I won a lpc driver. I just unpackaged mine and wired it straight out of the box.

    That makes sense. I noticed the 700/1000/1500 so I'm sure that goes with the max current output

    I really, strongly, suggest you to go dimmable! I know constant drivers are less expensive and less intimidating, but the dimming option is one of the great advantages you can get compare to MHs. If you do it right, you can blend the color as you wish, acclimate the corals to the light without changing the height, to name a few. insanespain and I will walk you through it!

    I've seen alot recently on adding uv and greens/reds to go full spectrum. VERY Interesting! Dimmable does seem like the way I should go. I'm also building a 36 bow wich is a little on the deep side so I would like to play with optics, as well. Would you suggest drilling/tapping and screwing down the leds as opposed to thermal adhesion? I know that you and insanespain are like the godfathers of the diy led builds, lol. Thanks for answering my thread!
