Depending on the the driver you may be able to just switch the dimer. The driver itself shouldnt have a problem with 5%.

How do you do that? Are there like after dimmers or something I install into it?

I got this one. Its for ks3000. I like that the marks fce150 will let you dim where ever you want to. My clones are burning up. This aftermarket cheap light only goes to 25% too and suspect is burning my clones. That if only I could dim it or put back the previous light source or find something just as soft on them.. Will fix it.
If I dim the lights or find a good alternative light source thats still bar lights and lines up well with a box fan.

Dang brah I solved mold PM and budrot with bar lights but theres like none to choose from. Viparspectra if I remember are discontinuing production and their new drivers dont dim the same. Mars hydro 3x3 driver doesnt detach and needs to because its too obstructive of air flow if box fan above it like I do.
It says mars hydro fc series can cover a 3x3 for veg being a 2x2 light or 2.5x2.5 for flower. The driver dont detatch but its barely ok it works for me. I hope they dont stop making them I done feel like Im gonna have to make my own some day.
Migro dont really hang the way I need them to it will be tricky and dont really know their lights. I feel like they need specific lighting and this hipar gero after market is burning my clone up. Would need to be able to dim it for veg. I think the leds are just hard on them.
Anyway I think aci will be my future light infact might buy one now. They detach driver and I think use samsung chips which been the best on my plants. Im using bridgelux though on my fce1500’s. I hope they dont stop making those. Thats like all my options when vipars stop being made.

Spider farmer I mean idk why but limited to ebay if to get extention cord for driver. Can tyou use anything or is it specific to that light? I dont like that and prefer plug and play but wow might have to learn how to make my own some day. Unless they hear everyones concerns.
Maybe it will become popular enough to. I mean shit I know people keeping tabs on my grow like damn the kid still dont have PM or budrot. Run after run. Couple people talking about considering doing the same thing. Its like the designers of these lights never considered it be used this way.
On too of that if it can be fully dimmable, not preset levels I can work with my plants easier. My veg plants that is.
