There's probably something you can do similar to the other blackbox LEDs. Go onto Facebook and search for the group Chinese BlackBox LED Proof Group. They have a nice doc in the Files section on hacking those lights for controlling with a controller and you could probably ask if anyone's tried it yet on the Arctic T-247. You probably won't find a good driver to replace the default ones because they put a lot of LEDs on each string. Typically most drivers do not support that amount of LED.
