cmason87 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 hello, I was was curious if these were compatible with the bluefish controller, and if not what I would need to make it work if possible? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MarsAqua-Dimmable-165W-LED-Aquarium-Grow-Light-Full-Spectrum-LPS-SPS-Coral-Reef-/370857093101 Description :Dimmable 165W LED Aquarium Light with Lens for each led.Dimmer One(28 LEDs): 8 x Cool White 12,000k, 6 x Neutral White 7500k, 6 x Warm White 3500k, 2 x Red 660nm, 2 x Green 520nm, 4 x Blue 460nmDimmer Two(27 LEDs): 7 x Royal Blue 450nm, 20 x Blue 460nmTwo Dimmers, two power cords and two on/off switches to control blue &white separatelyOutput Optimized for PAR, Sufficient Lights Spectrum, Super Light PenetrationPAR of the light is: 28PAR for Lens can output more PAR3 Watt Epistar LEDLED Output Power: 55pcs*3wattDimension: 400mm*212mm*60mmWorking temperature: -20 to 40 Degree CelsiusInput voltage: AC85V-265VLifespan: 50000-100000hoursThe range of power consumption under 110V: 123W-130W; 220V: 120W-126W thanks for your time Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Pretty sure you'll have to replace the drivers to use a bluefish Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If the drivers are 5v PWM, 10v PWM, or 0-10V analog, then it is compatible. Almost no Chinese fixtures have anything but resistance dimming. Link to comment
andru1313 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 So would he have to build his own board? Any thoughts on what sort of build he would need to convert this to make it work? From some of the stuff I have read on this Light i have seen people use a Power converter step down module to convert to 5v.. Then maybe he could use the existing drivers or would have have to replace with LDD drivers and build a board using a 5 up board or something similar? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Most Chinese drivers are in the 100-120v output range so that they can run ~26 LEDs at 3.4-3.9v each, so it would not be possible to use LDD. Link to comment
cmason87 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I stumbled upon this, I know it's not the bluefish controller but it should be the same principle yes? https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=80E53E9CD5F20968!131&ithint=file%2cdocx&app=Word&authkey=!AJiaLhuVKA9PhkU Link to comment
tonyb82 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Yes it is, I have done this for both 3 and 4 pin variants. The only thing is it won't dim to off. This leaves 2 options, timer plugs or your blue fish controlling your sockets. The later requires a couple of extra electronics. Link to comment
