I'm a true supporter of the Apex - although it was one of the single largest purchases I've made for my tank, it was hands down the best investment. One major complaint I have is the lack of LED dimming support. I came close to going the DIY route before purchasing my Kessil, but wanted the sleek look and simplicity of the Kessil. Every day when I see it come on or go off, I have to say that it frustrates me a little that it is an instant on/off. It would be great if it could actually dim from 0% up to the preset value.
As I understand it, this can be done with PWM. I also understand that PWM outputs are available on other controller brands. As any though been put into offering a variable speed module with PWM outputs vs 0-10v analog outputs? It would eliminate the need for all of the home grown converters for the DIY LED folks, as well as open up the market to control additional devices that were previously incompatible with the Apex because they required PWM outputs.
Maybe this has been addressed before, but if not it seems like it would be a good option to offer the hobbyists.
