Ocean Revive T247

[gregpaz84]

I have been researching a lot lately about aquarists using the Ocean Revive 247 Led lighting setup on their tanks. I originally started out with 2 Current Led lighting setups with the ramp timers, which are great as far as lighting control. The T247 shows much promise as far as output, but lacks the Sunrise/Sunset features of the Current model. There have been many posts about modifications with either Bluefish or Audrino systems to accomplish this and they all seem to accomplish what I am looking for with the T247. My question is has anyone either tried or considered using the Current Ramp Timer Pro module on the T247? Based upon what I have read, it is a PWM system that works on either 12 or 24 volts, has an output voltage of 3.3 volts and may be able to handle the wattage that is put out by the t247, and is 2 channel so it would allow for control of both multicolored channel and the Blue channel. I have some experience with electronics, but I am limited with the understanding of compatibility of these 2 setups.

Why not just buy a light that does what you want? There are plenty out there for any budget..
Any light can be "hacked" if you know how.. Do you? But why?
There is really nothing special about the T247 and no one needs "sunrise/sunset" anyways..

There are similar chinese black box leds with wifi/sunrise/sunset,etc..
Here.. first I found..

I have a total of 2 T247's and 2 Current with the ramp timers. The lighting intensity of the 247's is much brighter and being able to convert them to Sunrise/Sunset feature would be the ultimate. There are many that have instructions and videos as to using the Bluefish controller or Audrino systems for a reason. This is why I am questioning as to whether it is feasible to use the ramp timer pro.
