Adding a Dimmer

[thewackyreefer]

I have two LED fixtures that I purchased from ReefFiltration the first time around, I believe they're the first generation he had.

Anyways, they're too darn bright for my system and I need to find a way to dim them down or just trade them away. Is this easy? Hard? Anyone with experience?

im following this also. i have the second generation, but i'd love to dim my lights also. or atleast make it so i can have only blue lights on during a certain time

do LED's take different dimers then other light fixtures just curious cuz i have no idea

is there any way for you to raise the fixture before you start clipping wires?

would you have any pics of the led's on the tank ? I was thinking the same thing and could it be done on t5's

Ill have to dig up a pic, they're just way too bright for my acan's. Raising them would cause the light to spread even more than it already does and I'm not sure I could handle that.

You cannot dim the leds unless you have a dimmable driver in order for you to be able to dim them you would have to change the driver.

Also to be able to control the blues and whites you would need to have two ballast running each
