Since the voltage vs current relationship for a diode or LED is nonlinear, the fact that your LED runs brighter with the 13.5 volt vs 12 volt supply makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that the...

Are you running the light through the timer/dimmer or straight off the power supply?

That should work fine. With respect to how the Dual Ramp Timer works, none of us have the internal circuitry so we can only guess at how it really functions. If you look at page 1 of the...

So am I. The dimmer/timer will limit the output current to the LEDs regardless if the input voltage is 12 or 24 volts. But you don't have to trust me, get a 12 volt supply & be happy. Wonder how...

5 years + now on this puppy! I think I can safely say I've recouped my investment compared to replacing T5HO tubes or MH bulbs over that period. Might be time to look at changing out the LEDs, they...

Never advisable to overload a power supply, fire hazard. If the LED bar came with the 13.5 volt power supply, running it with a 24 volt supply could also cook it. Not enough info on your lights to...

Too small to run both. If I see the photo correctly it has 1000 ma output. That's 1 amp. Multiply the 1 amp by voltage (12) and max power = roughly 12 watts about half of what you're trying to run. ...

AJs is still pretty much the only game in Vernon at the moment. There is/was a lady on Bella Vista Road with a home based operation but I haven't checked on that in a while. Come to think of it, it's...

My DIY LED fixture will have 5 years running time come April. Not one LED has burned out to date. No bulb changes for 5 years, that's a relief for the pocket book & the landfill/hassle of proper...

I don't test much. Mostly LPS in my tank, only SPS are monti caps in green & tan. They grow like the dickens (the montis) so I know there's calcium. I don't dose anything either, use standard IO...

Any power supply that provides 24 Volts DC & 2.5 amps will do the trick. That's a 60 watt supply for a 40 watt rated pump, a little extra head room. Any supply of that rating or larger is fine. Also...

Alternatively, why not bypass the entire auto on/off mess. Adds complexity where it's not really needed? Keep it simple, if you want boost pump to run, just plug it in?
