    Just browsed their site... So can the value line led model be adjusted for intensity or is it simply set at 100% power all the time?

    I wouldn't go with the values simply because I don't think they have a built in heat sink. The controllable ones do. To answer your question though, yes you can manually change the intensity with the knobs

    I think the only difference between the value and controllable ones is the built in controller. The value have a dimer nob for each of the 2 separate channels, but besides that I think they are either off or on. No ramp up of ramp down. You would have to hook them up to a timer. I would go with controllable ones.
