LET T5 dimmable with kessil x controller

[Trooper182]

Does anyone know if the kessil spectral x controller can dim the T5 lights on the dimmable ballast? I know the ballast has a 0-10v +- port and the controller has a 0-10v 3.5mm jack on it. I currently have two nicrew 150w led that plug into the 3.5mm for ramp up and down. I want to be able to plug the T5 into the extra port on the nicrew lights so I can control dimming on both the nicrews and the T5s. Thanks

Theory is pretty sound but really depends on the ballast and 0-10v circuit design.

A company not recommending anything but " their stuff" is not unusual or always true.

Besides many ballasts don't like to dim well below 10%

Hmmm, seems there are some complications historically.

Hmm .. forgot the part where you actually want to use the Nicrews port. Kind of changes the whole thing and my posts above are useless really...

Bunch of " how the Nicrew" works here:
