Thoughts on Lighting

[JNalley]

I've been considering getting some Dimmable T5HO Supplemental Hybrid fixtures and got to thinking. Maybe light manufacturers can put a 1-10v port on lights to drive the Hybrid fixtures. Since most lights these days are not controllable with controllers, it makes no sense to leave that job up to an Apex, Hydros, or Profilux. Thoughts?

ATI and Hamilton had dimmable units

there are still a few out there... they're either manually dimmable, or 0-10v dimmable. No scheduling... Which is why I thought it would be a good idea if AI, EcoTech, Maxspect, Kessil, etc could put 0-10v OUTPUTS on their lights, to control the Hybrid Fixtures via the scheduling apps

You can daisy chain the kessil 360's. So I don't see why the output couldn't control a dimmable t5 setup.

Hmm, it might be nice to try, unfortunately, I don't have any Kessil's... Wonder if someone else can confirm.
