Gavita 1700e and controller output level

[Tungtungn]

Hi folks I've been reading around the forum and I noticed mentioning of the lights not being 100% when hooked up to the gavita controller. Does anyone else have this combo that can share some input. are you guys just bypassing the controller and plugging in to the power outlet directly?

Im sure as with any of those lights you can just bypass the controller and plug directly.

You can, I have 10 lights tho that need to be on a timer. Just wondering if anyone on this forum has heard of this

The system is probably wired incorrectly if the lights are not doing what the controller is set to. Or you need the Gavita B200 booster for a long run of lights or wires.

I have seen guys with 24 lights on 1 gavita controller with no problem, no booster. But for some reason some grows or controllers need a booster, I'm no electronic engineer though so idk why that is necessary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To answer your question though, I have never heard of or seen this issue.
