Stand lighting via Apex
I just set up my Apexel on my IM 20 Fusion and am having fun playing with the settings. The EB832 has some 24v ports on it to power accessories.
I am wanting to light the inside of my stand with some led strip lights but am unsure of what exactly I need to accomplish this. Ideas would be greatly appreciated. Vince Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For lighting under my 120, I purchased (3) of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then connected them to the Apex with this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/dc24-...e-systems.html To activate the lights, there are several methods you can use. The simplest is to use Fusion to turn the outlet on/off. More involved methods require a Break Out Box (BOB) in conjunction with a toggle switch, or as some have done, using a magnetic switch so when you open/close the cabinet doors, the lights automatically switch on/off. I went a little further, I'm using a BOB with a lighted push button switch. If you need more details, let me know.

Thank you for this. Could you provide more detail please? I like the idea of using a magnetic switch that activates the lights when the door opens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Start at page 107, it will explain how to set up the switch. You would use a window switch. https://www.neptunesystems.com/downl...nce_Manual.pdf
