I went through all of this and wired up my lights yesterday. Big thanks to all involved. I'm running the Fluval PRO 2.0 series reef lights. I figured I would post my setup as a contribution to the effort and in case it will help anyone else.

I purchased the following from amazon: UXCELL A16111800UX0041 & TC420 Controller

I used the power supply that came with the lights, eventually I may replace it with a different one, but it's running for now.

In my configuration, CH1 = White LED's & CH2 = Blue LED's

NOTE: Pin numbers in my schematic are arbitrary and only used to keep things straight. As far as I know these connectors don't have any pin numbering on them.

I also designed & 3d printed a terminal cover and added 'strain relief' functionality using the zip ties.
