[wtd] TC420 Controller
- Thread starter Triton
- Start date
Have you asked Improved Living? They normally stock them. Or just order one on ebay if you are not in a rush.
Else order on ebay and use an Aramex Global Shopper address in the country where you order from then they courier it here and it should be here in a week.
Thanks @Royden Church and @BarryRoux ! Got one from bid or buy
Call Dave at LED Select or go to bid or buy and order online.
Not wanting to hijack thread, but can this controller be used with led drivers looking for 0-10v input? I was using the variable ports on my apex controller, but they no longer work, so I currently just use 2 x AC to DC converters set to different voltage for blue vs white channels
Yes it can as I am currently running mine at 10.5V with out drivers to 17 x 10W LED Chips, I use a 30A CCTV Power Supply which is turned down with the variable pot(Output voltage adjuster on PSU). I have also added 2.2 ohm x 2w resistors to my other 10W LED's to lower the amps and forward voltage.
I ordered my second unit from Dave in CPT which should be here tomorrow or the next.
I must say these TC420's are reliable and can handle a punch.
Or you can do like below link:

@WizardS , feel free to come around and have a look if you want.

Thanks @Royden Church - when I looked at the website it seemed as if one would need to "hack" the TC420 to get it to work like I need it to - but let me say I don't know the first thing about electricity!!
One does not have to hack the unit either, they are pretty simple and easy to connect and setup. Shout if you need a hand.
Ok, seems my meanwell LED drivers take direct voltage, not pwm, which should make things easier -can you Pm me Dave's details
