Questions about purchasing a Robo-Tank DIY Aquarium Controller Kit

The drivers in the light are non-dimmable and put out a constant 700ma, the dimming circuit is in the controller. So its not possible to dim the light without their controller unless you swapped out the driver in the light for a Meanwell LDD-700. Sounds like that would be easy, he said the lights are in a string and require 19v to power up so it sounds like an LDD would do the trick however it wouldn't be full brightness as an LDD loses 3v so only 16v would go into the LED's, you would need a larger power supply as well. He also said the warranty is void if their controller is not used to dim the lights.

Good, that they finally give answers :) 

Is there possibility to change power supply that kind which give 22,5 - 23v output (or if it gives more like 24v, add somekind of resistor or something to loses that "over voltage") , and then it don't mind if LDD loses 3v, because there is still that 19.5v left :) ?

Edit. or you can use this kind of meanwell power supply. Then you cand adjust that voltage to proper (22.5v)
