I have a couple of these LED lights that I've been using for my sump refugium's with pretty good success. I'm in the process of downsizing my set-up and was hoping to use them on a Fiji Cube HOB refugium (Large) that I just picked up but, I think it will need to be at a significantly lower power (I think it's 100w now). It's a pretty popular light available from Amazon. Has anyone gotten one and used it with some sort of dimmer?

No, unfortunately. A controllable one would have a part that you can install and restrict current or voltage.

That is unfortunate. I was hoping it would be similar to the LED lights that we have in the house that are on a dimmer switch. It would be easy enough to run an outlet wire out of a dimmer switch and have that switch plug into an outlet.

it works pretty good. it's very bright and as stated above can't be dimmed but it does grow.
Depending on the size of your refugium, I ended up going with this one on a smaller HOB refugium because I don't have a sump.
