Which controller is most compatible with your LED's

If you get the full Apex you won't need the VDM module. It has the 0-10v ports already built in. That's how I currently dimm all three MeanWell drivers.

V1/V2 - V3/V4 are where your drivers will plug in using the Apex dimming cable. aka Ethernet cable

 

So how will that work if I have 6 Dimmable Drivers and 2 Constant Current drivers?

 

and thanks for all the help!

 

You will need the Apex Full and VDM module. Together they will control 8 drivers independently.

The constant drivers will just work off a timer.

 

So with the Apex you can only control 4 dimmable drivers with the head unit, and then would have to buy an additional VDM module if you had more?

EDIT: ^^^ Nevermind...I was too slow.

 

Ok a little more detail here.

I have 6 Dimmable Drivers (3 for Whites) and (3 for Blues) and about to install 2 Constant Currents for the UV that I'm supplementing with.

Can I run 3 Drivers to 1 port since they're all blue, run 3 white drivers all to the other port, and then run the constant currents just off of a regular timer ports programmed to turn on just after sunrise, and off just after sunset?

 

Yea save you 99.99

What are on your constant drivers?

 

Well savings are good lol.

The constant currents will run Reds, Cyans, and UV's

2 Heatsinks. 1.4"x24" each will have 8 UV, 2 Red, and 2 Cyan running on a 700mA constant current driver.

I just want to add them to pop some colors and supplement my current LED setup.

 

You will want to have the supplements on a dimmable driver. I am installing a dimmable driver for my supplement LEDs tonight.

 

were you running them constant current before?

I figured running at 700 mA there was no way I'd want them lower than that.

I have 2 dimmable drivers here, maybe I should use those instead.
