Rapidled Moonlight

[keokea]

Has anyone used these? I have one installed on my 35 and it is too bright for my chalices to extend at night. Could I put a potentiometer on the AC side of the one led string to dim it?

I have the 4 led moonlight kit and they are almost to bright for my 60g.. When I had them hooked up on my 29g biocube I couldnt use them.. I dont think you can use a pot on them but you may want to contact them about the issue, they would be the ones that would know..

In the driver there's a small resistor, turquoise, in series with it I installed a 1K pot with a 100 ohm resistor. Easy mod rapid will email you

Can you unhook the power supply? Swap it out for a 3-12v 150ma power supply, and they will be dimmer.

+1 350mA is a bit bright

You can also use the Dimmable Mean Well ELN 30-48D which can drive 3-13 LEDs at 63-630mA

I agree Bill, 350 is too high. But that 1k pot method turns it down nicely

here are the instructions on how to do the 1k pot and 100 ohm resistor mod to make the driver dimmable:
