This dimmer allows growers to easily control the light intensity of their Fluence fixture via an easy-to-use up/down arrow function, and clearly shows the user their light output via a digital display.
The dimmer connects to each Fluence fixture via a threaded or push-lock connector (provided) through an adjustable PWM or 0-10V signal switch, and can be daisy-chained to connect up to 50 fixtures (not to exceed 200 feet of signal wire) off a single dimmer.
Extending the signal wire more than 200 feet will weaken the signal strength and may reduce the total number of fixtures that can be dimmed. If more than 200 feet of total signal wire is needed, please consult an electrician or contact a Fluence representative at support@fluencebioengineering.com.
A battery-backup ensures light levels are maintained in the event of a brief power outage to the dimmer.
This dimmer should be installed away from wet environments and areas likely to be splashed with water, and always dry hands thoroughly before using. Do not install this dimmer in environments with 80%+ humidity.
Please note: This dimmer is meant to control the overall light intensity of your Fluence Bioengineering fixture(s). It is not meant to act as a timer to control photoperiod. Please use a switch or timer to power fixtures on/off for photoperiod control.

Would love to see the following in the next version:
1- buttons are little hard to press with fat fingers, bigger buttons maybe?
2- would love to see timer implemented with the dimmer
3- make the connector detachable.
Overall great product and built well

Hi,
Firstly, I think your products are incredible. I have done a lot of research around horticultural lighting and must say yours are without a doubt the best I have come across. So even though getting them to the UK was pretty tricky, I was thrilled to receive your product in the post.
I must also agree with the previous reviewer, in that a timer function built in would be great, however also doubling that up with a soft on and off would really cap it off.
Thank you and keep up the great work!
