Arcadia Eco-Aqua LED Lamps and LEDControl???

[mdanielse]

Hello there,

Is it possible to connect the Arcadia Eco-Aqua LED Lamps to the Profilux3 so that the are dimmable. Can i perhaps do this by connecting the Arcadia LED-tubes to a GHL LEDControl1 of LEDControl4?? The Arcadia LED-tubes are a great product, but for now they are connected through the GHL-powerbar, and thus can be only switched on or off. It would be great if the were dimmable.

I did e-mail Arcadia about some information, but the gave no reponse.
On the Internet i couldn't find any information either.
Perhaps you at GHL can help me with this question.

This is the link to the Arcadia Eco-Aqua LED tubes. (http://www.arcadia-uk.info/product.php?pid=92&mid=11&lan=en&sub=&id=4)

With Kind Regards,
Jack

No response jet, so it's apparently a difficult question.
Perhaps that a few photo's from the inside of the driver will help.

So witch expert out there, can figure out from the pictures which type of GHL LEDControl I need to dimm the Arcadia Eco-LED lamps.
Or is it perhaps not possible?

Any help will be appreciated......

Greetings,
Jack

it seems they work with 24V, the LEDControl4Active is able to deal with voltages up to 18V

and I am not sure if they work with a constant voltage (then resistors in the tube are required) or with a constant current

-> I don`t think this will work, but I have too less technical details

[mdanielse]

That's to bad...........
So, at this time there is no way to get the Profilux dimm the Arcadia ECO-LED lamps?
Time for you to make a LEDControl5, especially for me and mij Arcadia LED lamps :)

Or is there a way to modify the existing LEDControl's for my purpose?

Unfortunately the design only allows up to 18V.
To achieve higher voltages the circuit of LEDControl4 have to be changed.

I found this thing on the Internet........ can i connect the 0-10v interface on this LEDDriver to the 0-10v interface on the Profilux? Or is it a different kind of interface.
(And yes...i know if my Led Lamps don't work with a constant voltage, something might blow up..)

I can`t read the datasheet, too small resolution

but a standard 0-10V-input can of course be driven by Profilux

[mdanielse]

I hope that this closeup is readable...

It has a standard 0-10V interface -> so ProfiLux could control it via a L-Port.

[mdanielse]

Great......... I will give it a try and hope that nothings blows up :)

i hope it works would be great

Defects as a result of DIY projects is no warranty case. You should know what you do...

To bad.......... it did not work. The Arcadia led-tube only burns at full power, even when 100% dimming is applied you only see a very very small drop in brightness. So no PWM dimming for the Arcadia led-tubes.
I was able to control the dimming of the new Led-driver with the Profilux, because when i attached a "led-disco lamp" to it, then the dimming worked fine.

So back to square one....... hoping that GHL makes there LEDControl1 more powerful, 24V and some more mA would be nice to.


On the bright-side, i did not blow up anything ;) and we learned a lot...............
