Reefbrite XHO Dimmer?

[SnowDog]

Does the XHO come with a dimmer or is it sold separately?

I'm trying to decide between the SBar and the XHO and the total cost is a consideration considering I will need 8 - 48" lights.

Thanks!

The RB XHO lights need a separate dimmer. They do sell a dual channel interface for a controller.

I have 2 72 inch 50/50 reefbrites coming tuesday...Question is how do I connect them to apex 16 and do I need anything else to hook up both of them up to apex?
Thanks

You’ll need one of these (the dual channel version)...

Thngs like this would work fine BUT this one is too low spec (24W)

Theoretically.. Others can confirm..
0-10v to ....PWM...to gate of power MOSFET to "chop" 24V DC constant voltage...

3 channels..5A per channel (24x5= 120W "strip" per channel)
