RSM Max 250 moon lights
Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 6:17 pm
Hi
I am planning to get a RA to control my Red Sea Max 250. The lighting system has 6 T5 lamps which I have split into 3 groups of 2. I use timers to produce the lighting changes througout the day, so I can see how they can be covered by using relays.
There are 8 moon light LED's in the hood, working on one 12v DC circuit. I would like to be able to control them following the moon cycle.
Can I just connect them straight to one of the PWM chanels, or would I need to split them into two circuits?
Or would I need some sort of driver circuit?
Any suggestions will be welcome.
I have a programing background and the Open programming system of the RA looks good on review.
