Hey all, wondering if anyone has used a dimmer with a hygger max pro 100watt light.

I have it on my 2ft cube, but think it is just a bit too bright. Already set it at the greatest possible height.

Here's a pic of the tank for fun.

The LEDs in a light fixture have to be on a dimmable driver to be able to support an aftermarket dimmer.

The specs and manual don't seem to identify these LEDs as dimmable youll want to send an email to Hygger support to ask.

Update. I emailed Hygger, who got back to me immediately:


"This HG132 hygger pro plant light is set to full spectrum, fixed brightness, and is not equipped with a dimmer. Besides, we have checked with our product team, and unfortunately, even if you purchase a separate dimmer switch, it will not be possible to adjust the brightness of the lights. Your understanding will be greatly appreciated.

However, it is extremely bright and has a suitable spectrum, which can effectively promote the growth of aquatic plants. It is very suitable for aquatic plants."
