Does anyone know if these are compatible?

Looking for a cheaper control option for reef brites than their $170 wifi module thing...

Depends.. What does the power supply say?
If like 24V 90w (not the light wattage btw 2.5A at 60 W is more real) most Mosfet based PWM dimming modules should work.

If I remember Currents are a bit weak (low A rating).

There are literally dozens that will work w/ constant voltage strips in the 12-24V power supply range.

Get a different power supply and a tc-421 and you can have all the strip control you want.
Each "channel" can take up to 4A so 96W at 24V
Can control 480W of 24v strips/bars only limit is 96W per "channel"

All bars would run off the same power supply, thus the new one based on how many bars you are running.

Cheaper on flea bay.


TC-420 EXAMPLE (CH 1 NOT USED)
Needs a windows computer to program but cheaper than 421.
W/ slight modifications can also control LDD drivers.
