I think that inside "smartcontrol" is same kind devices like thos ldd, and it controls those light independently, but if you want you can enable function, which monitor incoming 1-10v pwm data, and use it to control "inside chips". But this is just something that i think of :D
I get confused easy with this stuff. Now looking at that LDD-1500 I'm pretty sure that's just a driver, you would use that if you build your own lights. I should have known that I use LDD-700's for my light. The number is just how much current they can handle. I don't think they can be used to change the PWM output voltage but I'm never sure.
Thanks Chris, if you can confirm the dimming wire going between internal USB port and driver I would use the 5v PWM signal coming from controller this way nothing could be damaged. Since the max is 5v it should still dim but not light up full as it probably needs 10v so 5v should be 50% brightness.
