Anyone know how a Lunar Sim works?
 
Just wondering if the Lunar Sim by Neptune runs on voltage or current to increase and decrease the light intensity. Was going to rip one apart and see if I can get a reference voltage to dim a thomas reasearch driver (0-10V). Not sure if it's possible but maybe someone already tried.
The plan was to run 24 Blue Crees in a moonlight setup with a dimmable driver (0-10v) by controlling it with the lunar sim.

Let me know.


thanks
Erick

3w crees wont dim enough to be used a moon lights. they give off too much par.

you need to use really low power leds to let the photosynthesis cycle "rest" during the night.
