how do you control the dimmable Viparspectra model# V600 and VP600

As above, we call them diffusers here.

If you have two of them you can use them from the sides...not ideal but might help

[StickyNugsAZ]

Maybe you could screen it somehow to block part of light temporarily

Boat anchors it is. Thanks for the reply. Don't think I can hang them high enough but I will try. Yes I am frugal (cheap).

[Bluey]

Thanks.

I bought 2 600w quantum boards earlier this year. They work well but from everything I'm seeing the LED bar lights are the way to go for nice even distribution but I won't be ditching these quantums any time soon.

No not the ones i purchased the 450r were not shit lights at the time read the reviews if there still around. I had read that the 600 were not as good when i was reviewing/researching for grow lights. When i bought them they rocked my 3x3x6 tent even had 2 in there. Not dimmable but you had switches for veg. and bloom. Huge improvements now with Q board lights but i liked them old ones they still work

[Bluey]

I heard that they are really shit lights.

What's your take SoOrbudgal ?

[SoOrbudgal]

I still have 2 450 haven't used them for 2yrs ya want em? Those are not dimmable either.

Old school is that you raise and lower the lights. New school is that you buy a different light.

[Bluey]

They are not dimmable and there was also a problem with the daisy chaining on the V600 which was disabled at a later stage in some markets.
EDIT. The P600 is dimmable

I contacted the company and after researching they told me that they did not sell controllers for these models. Their support was great just didn't get the answer I wanted. Has anyone experienced this problem and how did you correct it. I am a decent mechanic but electronics is foreign to me so changing a box internally to make it ain't gonna happen. I am setting up a new room and led's are spoken very highly of but if I can't control the brightness they are boat anchors to me.Thanks for reading and look forward to reply's.
