LED Controller

[Bebop]

I will be getting my LED retrofit kit for my Biocube in tomorrow!

The kit I got has dimming knobs, but I was wondering if anyone here has experience wiring and programming a LED Controller and would like to share :D

(Link to the kit: Here)

The guy who built the kit has "Aquarium Controller Interface Harness for Steve's LEDs Drivers" so I assume I will need to buy this thing to go along with any controller I get.

I have no problem getting these things on a timer, but I’d really like to be able to program sunrises and sunsets with the LEDs.

Also, anyone have any recommended controllers? The only ones I've found seem to be oriented toward total aquarium control (temp, wave maker, lights, ect.) I really only need one for lights.

Any help is appreciated! :mrgreen:

Wow, is that link Epistar LED a new one? It is a bit like Cree LEDs,

No idea, they're "Luxeon ES". Your guess is as good as mine.

Luxeons have been used in the DIY realm of LED fixtures for a while, I believe that they are less expensive than the Cree's
