Coralux Storm LED Controller with 10V Analog Converter

Product details

Coralux Storm LED Controller with 10V Analog Converter is a programmable lighting controller designed for aquarium LED setups that use 0–10V analog dimming drivers. It helps you automate sunrise/sunset timing, lunar phase behavior, and built-in lightning and cloud effects, so your lights can follow a realistic daily cycle. The included 10V analog converter adapter is intended to make the controller compatible with 0–10V analog dimmable drivers such as HLG-C series (B type). In practice, it’s especially useful when you want smooth transitions (for example, ramping up and down) while coordinating multiple channels.

Features:

• 16×2 character LCD display for on-device setup and status
• 6 independent channels of control (with the Storm’s controller, while the 10V converter provides 4 channels of 0–10V dimming)
• Real-time clock (RTC) with manual sunrise/sunset times and geolocated sunrise/sunset
• Staggered sunrise/sunset delays to sequence channel start/stop
• Moon/Lunar phase simulation for an additional night-time effect
• SmoothRamp dimming and SmoothRamp Clouds for gradual transitions
• Lightning storm effects, plus cloud channel clustering and upgradeability via FTDI
• Note: many 10V drivers do not dim smoothly from 0–100%; they may show a threshold where output turns on abruptly—check your driver datasheet for dimming behavior

Specifications:

• Controller channel count: 6 independent channels of control (Storm)
• 0–10V analog dimming channels (via included converter): 4 channels of 0–10V dimming
• Remaining channel type: 2 channels remain 5V PWM channels (on the controller side)
• Display: 16×2 character LCD
• Timing features: Real-time clock module; manual sunrise/sunset time; geolocated sunrise/sunset; staggered sunrise/set delays
• Field upgradability: Upgradeable via FTDI
• Compatibility intent (with adapter): Designed to work with 0–10V analog dimmable drivers such as HLG-C series (B type)
• Case included with this version: The 10V converter no longer comes with a case
