It can not control PWM and it can not control flash or cloud effect on PWM modulation.

0-10V control is fast becoming a basic function, yes other controllers can control 0-10V but it is now about to what extent can that function be expanded on to support modern devices (such as PWM), and GHL constantly lead the way in this and why nearly all top LED aquatic companies chase GHL for their brands to become compatible.

This is unique to GHL

PWM = Pulse Width Modulation, you need a specific module to do this which converts the analogue 0-10V signal to PWM digital and this is what nearly all modern LED fixtures including DIY builds now use. Its the PWM functionality that unlocks your LED fixture, without it its like restricting a car engine to 75% efficiency.

This is where GHL ProfiLux shines through, they provide every conceivable option for the modern reefer to tap into, even if you feel you dont need the function now, its there for the future if and when you so choose to upgrade your lamps or other important functionalities.
