    I have the Mean well PWM drivers. I want to be able to control the dimming to where there hardly even on for when the sunset starts. Going to be buying the Reef angel soon.

    I have the Rapid Led controller and it works great. I have talked to them threw email for the past couple days about the controller. I thought I had something wrong with it and they helped me every step of the way. I even sent videos in so they can see how the controller is working. They watched them and got right back to me with answers. I havent even bought stuff directly from them either. Very good company to deal with.

    Ok...so how can I accomplish my mission about the dimming? Also sense you cant control the dimming on separate channels with the rapid controller on day cycle. Can I just turn down the voltage in the driver?

    thanks

    You'll be able to dim it using the Reef Angel. Out of the box you'll get 2 channels to dim on, I believe each can support 2 drivers (could be more).

    The Reef Angel has functions setup to simulate dimming for sunsets/rises
