Im looking for a device that can adjust the wattage of my lights.

[Masterdank420]

Anyone know where i should start looking?

For a simple but irreversible adjustment,

I already have that archaic model.Looking for something a little fancier with dials on it lol

Doesn't a dimmer do that?

Is that what its called?

Not all leds are compatible with dimmer switches.

You might get a more constructive response if we actually knew what lights you have.

They are fully dimmable LEDs. Mars hydro TSL 2000. They have 2 drivers at 150w a piece. I've got three of them in my grow room. Since im lacking height in my space I'd like to use a "dimmer" but id like it to display the wattage being drawn at the wall.

That is the exact same one I have. It works well with my TS1000s. Great for checking that they are actually pulling the percentage it says on the dials and to check they pull the wattage the vendor says they do. All of mine are set to 65% on the dials and all 4 together are pulling 391w.

You can just math it out. ..a 300w fixture dimmed to 50% is 1 fitty.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that is what the light is actually pulling.

This is true but I've seen mars hydro come out of a box saying 150w but it's only pushing 80w. There are adjustments i can make on the light fixture itself but i have no way of knowing how much im adjusting it by. I want to make sure they are all pushing out 150w at full power then i can dim them and have even light coverage. Would suck to have one driver at 100w and the other at 60w lol

Get a kill a watt.

Edit: Nevermind it's already been suggested.

What's that?

Same thing that was already posted. I didn't see that until after I posted. Lol
