Should I get ATI Powermodule Dimmable or non Dimmable?
I am ordering today an ATI Powermodule T5 unit. I see that they now have a dimmable model. Is it worth getting the dimmable? Any known issues with it?
Thanks, Ken |

I haven't looked at them extensively, but from what I recall the units are generally within $100-$125 of each other? For ME it would be worth it for the greater ease of light acclimation vs. modifying height or using windowscreen etc...

The dimmer on the powermodule is manual and not electronic like the sunpower. You'd need some sort of controller to automate dimming for the powermodule
