Electric Sky ES300 V3 dimmer died

Hello @Storm @MeEasy I tagged you both since you use the same light I do. Last night my dimmer died on my ES300 V3. I opened the tent and noticed that it is darker than usual. I took DLI readings and at 36 inches the dimmer is giving a DLI of 8 on the lowest setting, and 12 on the highest. As soon as I unplug the dimmer at the same height DLI is 30. Did any of you have a dimmer fail? I found this dimmer on eBay, is it suitable? Won’t do any damage to my light?

I’m asking cause I’m seeing it quite cheap, so want to make sure it won’t do any harm to my light. I found one on Amazon also, but with shipping to Europe it comes to 40 USD, which is why I’m asking about the eBay one.

Thanks in advance as always guys :slight_smile: any input is always appreciated.

That looks similar to the one I ordered off Amazon. Mine works

These are the ones I bought and they work perfect on my 300 V3s. Looks pretty close to the ones you picked. I had TGSC send me new ones right before they went out of business and those failed within a year. The ones that came with the lights sucked

I love my ES’s but their dimmer and hangers definitely needed improvement

Thank you everyone for all the quick replies. I’ll play it safe and get the 2 pack from the link @MeEasy provided, especially since they’re tried and tested by fellow growers with the same light.

Thank you so much as always. It truly is appreciated everyone :slight_smile:

Happy growing :smiley:
