I would not buy the dimmer. I have read before that it shortens the life of the bulbs. I am gonna add T-5s to my LED setup but I am gonna use mine for midday so full spectrum is achieved. I will be using my blues and UV/violet channels for the pop though. Do n't know anything about your LED though so that might not be an option for you.

When I added t5’s to go with my radions I didn’t use dimmer. I just gradually increased the amount of time the t5’s are on.
