Hi,
Are the ballasts available for purchase? Or do you have to purchase the whole fixture?

The ballasts are available to purchase however it is not a simple task of swapping out old ballasts and replacing with the new dimmable ones as there is communication wiring involved and it is not something Sfiligoi, nor any manufacturer would support or recommend any hobbyist doing on their own.

Just to clarify, any Sfiligoi T5 fixture produce in dimmable version is built compatible with any of the mentioned aquarium controllers utilizing 0-10v DC interface for dimming. With this, the fixture will only be compatible with that said controller and not be able to communicate with any of the alternative ones. This is a result of each brand controller utilizing different wiring and connector type for dimming with their controller.

We have supplied Aquatics Elite with the GHL ProfiLux EVG-AP-2F interface card, this is unique to ProfiLux and not only allows for plug and play operation but also saves you having to utilise power strip sockets on your controller as the interface employs 0 volt switching, meaning when 0VDC signal line state is detected the interface shuts all AC power off to the lamp.

GHL ProfiLux is also now available through Aquatics Elite so you have a one stop solution for you lighting controller needs.
