Ok here is the deal I have picked up a Ecoxotic Panorama Retro 36 for a good price from a friend of a friend here is a link to the light http://www.ecoxotic.com/catalog/product/view/id/215/s/panorama-led-retro-2-parts/category/17/
Plan is to mount it in my 29G oceanic bio cube. My problem is I want to put it on a dimmer.
Called Ecoxotic and the lady I get on the phone has not been able to help me at all and will not let me talk to anyone else. She keeps telling me that I can buy a controller from Apex that will control it and she needs to know if it is a dimmable driver. I have told her the #'s on the driver and she just says that will not tell her much????????
Don’t really want to drop that much coin on a controller right now...
The driver I have with it is mean well ELN-60-24 and believe it is non-dimmable because it only has two wires coming out of it to the light and from what I have found is that it should have four? A set to the lamp and a set for a powered dimmer?
Why can’t I just control the voltage going to the light from the driver via an inline 0-24v dimmer/potentiometer?
Any help would be great!!
Here are the specs on the light also
