Yes. It will always be 100%, but if you want a little less, you could adjust the internal trimpot or use a lower voltage power supply, like 5V.

That might be a workable solution to use the 48p until I get my RA. I just don't want to spend $300 plus on LED's and not be able to use them once the fixture is built.

P doesn't need signal conversion and is a digital type of signal
D would need conversion and it uses analog type of signal, but you can buy the PWM-to-Analog lead wire that converts the signal for you.
Other brands would work too.
