I have my reefbrite controller plugged into my varspd1 outlet. In the past I “think” I was able to dim the lights. Sorry I have memory loss. For sure at some point it began flashing from full power to the dim setting each second and I just plugged into another Varspd and run it at full power. Now I want to use the leds as a soft moonlight along with the T’5s to dim down and up for morning. I can’t seem to figure out why this thing keeps flashing full pwr/ % over and over. I’m sure it has something to do with the setting on the reefbrite vs settings on reefbrite controller in the APEX. Any help or suggestions wld be mush appreciated.

Shouldn't it be plugged in to one of the 0-10v outlets? varsped is for pumps, etc.
 
Yea i haven’t looked at my energy bars to see if there is somewhere to plug them in there. I assumed I pumped them into the unit.
