    Reef brite dimming

    I have just set up three Mh/Xho led pendants and am having an odd issue with the intensity of the led's. I have one single and one dual channel reef brite 0-10v dimming modules connected to a vdm. The lights are reading the same intensity on fusion but one is much brighter, and to confuse the issue the light that is brighter is part of the dual dimmer not the single.

    From left to right:

    Led on dual channel dimmer connected to vdm 3/4 (this is the one that is much brighter)

    Led on single channel dimmer connected to vdm 1/2

    Measure the voltage with a voltmeter at the dimming terminals. If they are all identical it's a driver issue.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    I have a volt meter at work so I'll try that tomorrow.

    I was playing with the settings and realized that one of the channels on the dual dimmer is not dimming. When it's on it's at 100%. I tested by switching the channels and the light connected to that channel did not dim. Looks like the signal is passing right through.
