Viparspectra 165w to apex

[Zackford4]

Hello,
Thanks in advance for any help. This is my first post. Has anyone figured out how to wire the viparspectra 165w lights to an apex classic I have the v1 and v2 cables by apex. But when I crack the light box open, the number of wires are different than all the how to videos online. I know it is possible, but I dont want to just start hacking and splicing away.

Welcome to R2R.

Are you trying to make the Apex ramp the Viparspectra or just turn it on and off?

 

[Zackford4]

Just it on and off. And turn the blue/white channel on off separately. The timer on my lights suck and doesnt keep time well. So I want to control it all through apex. But i think i read that the viparspectra wont ramp up and down

Does the Viparspectra have one or two power cords? I assume one, otherwise you could just plug each channels power cord into a switched outlet on an Apex power bus (whatever they call it).

I would do that, but then I cant control the 2 different channels. Annnd all 8 plugs are used already. Thank you though
