I’m looking at adding a dimmable T-5 to my system. Looking to copy other peoples set ups. You know the deal, why reinvent the wheel.

What are you using to interface between the GHL and the Light?

Can you please take screen shots of your programming too?

this is the unit I am looking at:

Thanks

I have Reef Brite XHOs with thier LED control interface, which has an RJ45 for APEX. I connected it to the GHL 0-10V like so:
Using a surface mount RJ45 box and RJ14 cable (has 4 wires) I connected to an L-Port as follows.

L-Port End - RJ45 End

Pin 2 - Pin 5 (L1 1-10V)
Pin 3 - Pin 2 (L2 Ground)
Pin 4 - NOT Connected, cut wire off and used for the ground jumper
Pin 5 - Pin 1 (L2 1-10V)

In the RJ45 jumper Pin 2 to Pin 6 for the L1 Ground. The L-Port has a common ground for both channels while the Apex connector has individual grounds for each channel.

On the L-Port end the pins are numbered 1 thru 6 left to right, tab down.

I made this connection for a Reef Brite Apex Dual Channel LED interface.
