Now i am confused :D
"Anyone trying to dim these LDD's using a SmartController would have to drop that 10v PWM to 5v PWM max."
I think all the time, that there are meaning to control those lights without that SmartController (because it is too expensive) :D
If SmartController is "in the picture" things are diffrent right away :D Then you can control that SmartController directly to 0-10v pwm signal :)
"The SmartControl 8 can be connected to any external lighting controller or aquarium computer with a 1-10V output and it will slave from that signal."
I thought SmartController is not used in this connections, so then you need something like ldd-1500 in between lights and power source or they are just to 100% brightness all the time :) (and that something has to be capable of dimming lights by pwm controlled, just like ldd-1500 example).
But clearly i misunderstand whole situation :) So forgot anything i say and continue :)
