Color control with LEDs

The numbers in the video represent how much voltage is being sent to the drivers.

this way you can tune in 12k, 14k, 20k etc.

Cool video.

Wait, why would voltage matter? do you mean voltage to the dimmers or something?

Yeah the meanwell 60-48 dimmable drivers need 10 volts to run full power it has 2 wires that hook to a 10v source or lower the lower the voltage the dimmer they get.... They won't fire without a constant source of voltage ie wallwart power supply, apex etc.... My apex dims my unit by sending a signal to the drivers it ranges from 1 to 10v... 10v being 100 percent....even a 9v battery works great for testing them...;)

Nice video, that was great to see with the different combination. blue9v/white6v my favorite color combo in that vid also.

You can also use dummy outlets to create custom settings with the Apex. I have mine setup to do 10,000K, 14,000K and 20,000K lighting :)

another great reason to change over to leds, just waiting a little longer before i jump on board with leds to see more long term usage from them
