Im Looking for led drivers where i can Dim to zero
I was about to purchase this one hlg-120h-c1400b but looking at the spec sheet.
Itˋs can only be dimmed down to 10% and not 0% (shut off).
Reason why:
Im running my leds with 10v pwm for dimming.
Itˋs just easier, to use the pmw as on and off switch instead of a timer.

Anybody knows of led drivers with dim to zero(shut off)
Thanx
 
Thanx for the input.
Ohh maybe i forgot to mention.
I have a growroom controller(diy). Taking care of my tents.Rh%/temp/pumps/lights/fans/resovoir/ph e.t.c.
I already have ac outlets with timer function(fans/pumps/lights e.t.c.)
my old lcm-60 driver can dim to zero, but those are hard to find atm. so i need a alternative.
In do not need another dimmer. I make those myself
(microprocessor controlled 10v Pulse with modulation with lcd showing wall watts/mah. to led and dim in %).
i just need a new led driver that can dim to zero.

Why not just add an inline switch for the last 10%

I do not need a switch on my pwm. If I have a led driver with dimming to zero.
Back to topic.

I don't know of any drivers that dim to off/zero....and all drivers are not created equal. If your using a microprocessor and a PWM dimming circuit, I don't see why you couldn't make a zero setting on the processor that trips a relay that interrupts power on the AC line input. That way you have what u need for dimming and you don't have to use some crazy obscure driver. How come you need to go to zero anyway? I know that ramping shit up PWM style with 100 stops looks oh so trick, but it's not doing anything for dope. I just stick a 100k pot on the 0-10v dimmer and call it a wrap. It's usually at 100%, but it's nice to have the option if ya need it....especially because it only costs a couple bucks per potentiometer. Good luck in your quest to go dark....keep us posted on how this concludes.

There called KAAHBS Joe
 
Some helpful fellow growers,at another canna site,pointed me in the right direction.
Mean well: ELG series have the option to Dim to off ore 0-10v. not 1-10v that would be 10%-100%.
Crazy driver that is.
Gonna order a ELG-150c-1400b
4 cobs maxed at 700mah.
