I have 8 inventronics drivers on my lights and they will not dim to complete zero ( as in OFF ) unless the power is cut to the driver by my controller. The best solution for your situation Kevin is to have a timer to turn off the power to the driver.

I do have a controller. But I like it when it start at 10% and off at 10%.

I think mine is more than 10%. Too bad its can not be dim down to zero (no lights) so the fish wont get scared.
