    Looks good to me, we were considering using those in a new fixture (found a better fit).

    I meant the drivers, not the interface. Seems okay though, it is not a controller in its self

    Do you have PWM drivers laying around not being used?

    If so then you need this with a 0-10v controller.

    I'd like to thank bhazard for pointing me towards this too.

    Worst case it's Arduino based so you can recode it if necessary.

    I would go with a Typhoon personally.

    Pump the brakes guys, this is not a "controller" this is made to convert 0-10v analog signal to PWM signal.

    You need P (PWM) drivers with a controller still to use this.

    Looks like a fine converter to me. :)

    Ok thanks guys, was just wanting to upgrade to a controller this winter and didn't want to have to buy new drivers!

    Thx biocube for the PM;)

    Both the Neptune Apex and DA Reef Keeper use a direct signal. ;)
