I was holding off ordering my stuff from the same place until the end of the month. Not sure if that helps you. But if it does I may order sooner. I'm not sure who else can supply those true violet led's.
I've got 6 on a build I did during the summer and I really like them.

Awesome! If I can't work anything else out and I could piggyback on your order, that'd be great. I'll let you know If I can find any from a closer source.

It'd be nice if I could get my drivers (buckpuck), controller (boostled), LEDs (LGB) and heatsink all from the same place... but I'm dreamin' aparrently

Ya, sounds good. Out of curiosity, have you email Milad and asked if he had a couple kicking around?
I haven't done any research on your item combo, but does that set up (typhon controller and buck puck) allow for dimming to 0?
That's one of my issues right now and am thinking of building an arduino and getting an analogue to PWM converter, but $$$

I bought the dim4 board for my previous build and didn't realize the drivers would come on around 10-14%. The moonlights driven right off the board dim nice though.

As far as I am aware, the buck pucks dim 0%, 1%-100%. I don't think there is actually a driver that can do truly 0% to 100% but the buckpuck was the closest I could find to the full dimming range. Most drivers only come on at 10% and up (1-10V dimming = 10%-100%).

Instead of running moonlighting, I'm just going to have my blues stay on at night around 5% or so. The nice thing about the Typhon controller is that it is easy to re-program to have features such as the moonlighting, etc.

The Typhon is arduino based. You don't need A to PWM conversion if you're running an arduino. It has PWM output which a number of driver can take.

Doesn't milad run lledgroup buy...he is local so..he probably has some latest and greatest. See his informative full spectrum threads on nano-reef.
Msj boy:-)

Not sure if he stocks anything though. I'd drop him an e-mail to see if he has anything left over though.

Yeah, but I was kinda building to be able to plug into an Apex. But if I'm happy with it on it's own maybe that's un-necessary.
