Light dimmer and leopard tiger shrimp

Post by Linus_Cello »

Does anyone use a dimmer for their led lights? Thoughts on this?

Also, anyone keep Caridina rubropunctata? Do they really need cooler water?

I ordered and just received that dimmer yesterday. It's working on my biocube light. Do you have any specific questions about it?

Your (or anyone's experience) with it, and what adapter did you get?

I have used the cheapy dial ones from amazon for led strip lights for a diy algae reactor. They work, but are extremely sensitive. If the dial rotated 1 rotation, the light changes were made it 10% of the band. The astra lights have the same thing built into their stock cable.

I didn't need an adapter, it fit my light's plug. It's easy enough to use. You can enter several times with the % power level that you want at those times.
