Setting up a new tank and going to run T5’s. Looking for a LED strip/bar I can add that can be controlled with the apex for that dawn dusk effect. Want to run 60” ATI which is not dimmable.
Also like the pop of the blue LED bars.
Thx

Reefbreeders are with the alternate power supply..

Mitras though designed for their system dimming protocol is the same.
Has an unusually slow switching speed though.
Don't hold me to this one.. would need to look a bit closer.



  • Input voltage range: 5V … 48V, polarity + inside, – outside, DC-plug, 5.5/2.1mm
  • Max. current per channel or in sum: 5A
  • Number of channels: 4
  • Input voltage range analog inputs: 0V … 10V
  • PWM-switching frequency: 122Hz

Why Orphek hasn't released dimmable drivers for their bars is ???
Easy enough to swap out a dimmable Meanwell or what they supply though. Bit of DIY.. not much.

Stick with reefbreeders for ease..

Thx! I'll look into these. I've done DIY LED before, so I'm familiar (even have a spare Meanwell dimmable laying around). I guess I could just go that route.
