Absolutely. Here is a picture of my Duncan coral for the past year with diy leds. It has been mostly closed and the tentacles never expanded and were like little stubs.
The picture below is taken today, two days after installing the dm-155's. It is already expanding so much more and the tentacles are getting long again.

I received my 120 pro. Very nice light. Happy with this purchase. Cannot figure out time on time off.
Can anyone help with this? Thinking of maybe getting rid of my AI sol blues once I figure this issue out. Thats how I like these lights.

My dm155's don't dim very low, they start out at a pretty high percentage. Does anyone know what the percentage is that they start out at? Also on the reef radiance site it states that it is dimmable from 1-100%. Does anyone know how can I dim them that low?

Rick I'm having trouble uploading the video because the file size is too big. If I reduce the quality any further the video becomes unwatchable.
It's not a big deal to me because I don't need to dim them any further, I was just curious because the web site says they dim to 1%. If you look at the pictures I posted the lights are at their minimum brightness. If I were to guess I'd say they turn on to about 20% and can't dim any lower just like the other poster.

HI ROBLOX 84 - NO WORRIES - I CANNOT MAKE MY IPHONE 5 DO MUCH OF ANYTHING - LET ALONE TAKE VIDEOS. OUR LEDS ARE DIMMABLE TO 1% - HOWEVER THE POTENTIOMETERS THAT CONTROL THEM START TO WAVER AT BELOW 10%. WE HAVE NEVER LOOKED AT THIS AS THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY REASON TO DROP BELOW THAT - HOWEVER - WE WANT TO BE SURE WE REFLECT EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE SELLING - SO WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE OUR WEBSITE TO REFLECT THAT THE DM-155e AND THE DM-132e ARE DIMMABLE TO APPROXIMATELY 10 PERCENT - SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION.
THANKS FOR DRAWING OUR ATTENTION TO THIS.

Rick, Great job. as soon as I get another ALC module for my RKE, I hope to look into finding a way to control with that. I read several threads about simply bypassing the pot and using the 0-10v circuitry for it. now to just find the extra $80 laying around to get the Module.
FWIW, what I see with mine is when you click the POT on, they are super dim but then bounce up to the 10%. You can turn it to between that spot and the click and they will go low, but bounce up to the 10%.
I know that the Meanwell drivers I use wont go that low. even though the circuitry pulls them down lower, they still only dim to a certiain point that I would not percieve as "1%"

PICKUPMAN66,
Exactly. We are working on versions of each light that will be pre-wired for controllers with 0 - 10v wires pre-installed and exiting the light so customers can wire directly to their controller without opening the case and voiding the warranty.
Unfortunately we have several other projects ahead of this - hopefully we will be rolling out the DM-155eM next week. Keeping our fingers crossed. Rick
