Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the sunrise and sunset ramping work on the Twinstar Inline Dimmer?

When programmed to your preferred photoperiod (6, 8, or 10 hours), the controller automatically spends 10 minutes softly ramping the LEDs from off to your chosen brightness setting, and then ramps down over 10 minutes at the end of the photoperiod cycle.

2. Will this dimmer remember my settings if power drops out?

The controller maintains its active program setting as long as it receives continuous power. If unplugged or during a power outage, you may need to press the timer button at your desired daily start time to re-sync the internal clock.

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 35 reviews.

"EXCELENTE PRIDUCTO PRECIO Y DELIBERY GRACIAS MUY CONTENTA HACER NEGOCIO CON USTEDES"

MAR (5/5)

Twinstar is the Worst

"If you're buying this to fix your bunk Twinstar V series light. . . Don't! It doesn't work. Twinstar is terrible. Update your item description."

Twinstar Dimmer

"Works perfectly sir use on my older 60 cm light."

Gary M. (5/5)

Quality, but with a needed disclaimer

"Great dimmer. Simple, clean, and does what it’s supposed to. Unfortunately and as ironic as this sounds, it doesn’t work on my Twinstar 360EC which is the first generation of Twinstar lights. The description on the dimmer did say that it should work with ALL Twinstar lights, so there should be a disclaimer about that if it only works with certain models/years. So right now I don’t have an immediate use for this dimmer, but I can use it as a backup for when I do get another Twinstar light (newer?) or when my older dimmer dies out on me."

Paul L. (4/5)

Let there be light. . . control!

"Works great and super easy to install! No issues so far (and I don't expect there will be any), but time will only tell."

Cody R. (5/5)

Great Upgrade

"This timer/dimmer works just like the one that comes stock with some Twinstar models. It is a huge improvement for a light that has no dimmer. I put it on a 600EA series III, and it works great!"

Ryan S. (5/5)

Works well.

"Works well."

Kelly T. (5/5)

"Works great I can finally dim my light to reduce algae with less light and I also like the slow ramp up and ramp down"

Twinstar LED light-inline dimmer

"Works as it should if you use it with the correct lighting system."

Pam S. (5/5)

"Does exactly what is supposed to go can go wrong with the twinstar name. I bought the cheaper version of this one trying to save a few dollars and it didn’t even have a timer so yeah anyways great buy"
