Anyone know if I can run 2 24" XHO Actinic Blue Reefbrites on a single power supply that one of them come with (24V 60W)?
 
no each reef bright needs their own power supply
Then why is the LED controller sold with only one connection to the power supply, it splits like a Y and is advertised for 2 lights

Good question …
Im fairly confident we can run the lights with one power supply, as its advertised too. Im just confused if I can use the power supply meant for one light, not sure if its powerful enough. The description on BRS literally says “Compatible with the existing Reef Brite power supply that came with your light.” I’ve emailed @Reefbrite about it hopefully can get a response. Ill keep this updated
 
Reefbrite replied that I need a 90W power supply to power both, going to try this one.
 
Update, that power supply I linked works perfectly
