mean well drivers question

Any controller that supports dimming using 0-12v so basically most of them.  I use an apex with mine, I know reefkeeprs will too, so will most of then DYI controllers.  Rapid LED even makes a cheep little controller for just dimming if that is all you want to do.  Lots of options.  Just look for the 0-12v dimming and your golden.

 

Depends on the driver...

Mean well "D" series drivers are controlled by the 0-10VDC. The "P" type are controlled by PWM controllers. There is debate on these being slightly interchangeable with a little modification but pick a controller you like and choose the driver accordingly.

I was attracted to the Profilux controllers which is suited for "d" style, one isn't better than the other for dimming though /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

So the "b" driver in this line works with either type of controller, nice!...but this actually addresses the "little modification" comment I made above. The data sheet specifies the PWM signal needs to be 10V (which actually creates the compatibility I was eluding to). Most PWM reef controllers are 5v and you can get an additional component to boost the signal. So just be aware of that spec while you are controller shopping /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
