It appears True Lumen LED strips are a product of Current USA. I checked their site & they offer a timer/dimmer type controller. Not sure it will work with OPs model of light since he provides no details other than true lumen. He's asking if they can be controlled by his Apex.

Link below shows their accessory & compatible lights at the bottom of the page. Only need to figure out how to make the Apex do the same thing, rather than buying another product. Looks like their dimmer uses PWM which is not supported by Apex at this time according to the reference manual page I linked to earlier. As Robw mentions, the Apex can output a 0-10 volt dimming signal.
