I am a new Apex user. I would like create sunrise / sunset dimming using LEDs. I swapped out the drivers on my TrueLumen Pros and my Ecoxotic Stunner Strips with Mean Well ELN-60-48Ds. The dimming was not great as they flash below about 40% and at about 70% power, the light is indistinguishable from full strength. The effects were not appreciably different from turning on the fixtures in sequence, which is using up precious EB8 outlets. The fixtures also seemed to run really hot.
Before I invest in DIY LED fixtures, I am hoping to get realistic information as to what is possible to achieve with dimming.
Has anyone swapped out drivers for off the shelf LEDs with success? What brands of LEDs and what drivers are you using?
For the DIY LED users, are you able to achieve 10% to 100% dimming to get sunrise / sunset effects? Please share what has worked.
Thanks, MD
