Digital Light Control

It should make intuitive sense that providing both plants and animals with a more natural light cycle is generally beneficial for their well being.  However, most vivariums are using simple on/off timers to control the light, as well as running at at 100% or some fixed manually dimmed fraction of that all the time.

With either the NL502 or TC421 digital control units, four separate 12v DC output channels can be controlled in a wide variety of ways.  These units come pre-programmed with 3 time cycles (12,13,14 hrs) and 4 intensity profiles (low, med, hi, XX), for a total of 12 mode choices that are ready to run, plug and play, for up to 4 separate lights (when paired with high output power supply, like the MeanWell LRS350).  This allows you to simulate seasonal changes as well as adjusting to the life cycle needs of your display.   The lighting requirements of a new vivarium can be quite different from a well established one.  

Custom programming is also available at no additional charge.  It's best to discuss this over the phone.  

With the addition of this NL502 touchscreen, and it's ease of use to quickly tweak settings, running fans from a controller finally makes more sense.  The timing for fans is the most unique context to control, so it's essential that the end user can easily make adjustments.  That's finally possible. 

On all controllers, the channel 5 output is set aside for night light control.
