siskiou Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm still researching controllers and have since come across some German ones that apparently have dimming capability for T5 bulbs (you have to buy their "dimmable T5 bars"). How come this is available over there already, and not here? The controller I'm looking at is the Profilux, but the website is only in German. The controller itself is reasonably priced (in the range of the aquacontrollers) and the dimmable T5 (or T8) lights aren't outrageously priced either. Are they just more technologically advanced in general, or what's holding things back in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Because T5 technology originated over there Yeah they have been using T5's for years. A lot of cool stuff comes over from Europe in the aquaria trade. Then we take it send it to China and copy it LOL. Just kidding.

siskiou Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 I wish I had been into aquariums when I was still living in Germany! I wrote to the company to see if their controller and lights are available for the US market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
