Telos Lighting Controller – Precision 0–10V Light & Temperature Control
The Telos Lighting Controller gives growers complete command over their environment without Wi-Fi, apps, or complicated setups. Designed to work seamlessly with the Telos Dynamic range and any 0–10V dimmable LED, HPS, or UV fixture, it combines reliable two-channel control, temperature-driven safety, and sunrise/sunset scheduling to protect crop quality and maximise yields.
Key Benefits
- Universal compatibility; controls most dimmable 0–10V fixtures, including mixed LED, HPS, and UV setups
- Two independent channels; fine-tune different lighting zones or fixture types for flexible grow rooms
- Temperature-driven dimming; automatically reduces intensity or shuts down if canopy heat rises too high
- Sunrise/Sunset scheduling; smooth ramping prevents shock and aligns with plants’ photosynthetic rhythms
- Built for real grow rooms; robust housing, plug-and-play cabling, battery-backed settings, and no Wi-Fi required
How It Works with the TELOS Dynamic Range
The Telos Dynamic series (930, 1200, 1960, and 2400) delivers industry-leading PPFD uniformity and spectral precision. Paired with the Telos Lighting Controller, you can set exact PPFD levels, balance light distribution across multiple fixtures, and protect your crop with automatic dimming during heat spikes.
Using the Telos Dimming Link Kit, one controller can manage up to 24 Telos Dynamic fixtures simultaneously, keeping intensity, scheduling, and safety consistent across your entire grow space .
Why You Need Reliable Control
Light is the single biggest driver of plant growth, but unmanaged intensity and heat cause stress, foxtailing, and lost yields. Manual timers and dimmers react too slowly. The Telos Lighting Controller solves this by stabilising both light and temperature in real time. It ensures your plants always receive consistent PPFD, prevents oversaturation, and safeguards your investment with automatic shut-offs if temperatures exceed safe thresholds.
How to Set Up
- Mount & power: Place the controller in a dry, accessible area; connect mains power.
- Probe placement: Position the included temperature sensor at canopy height for accurate readings.
- Wire your lights: Connect fixtures via RJ45 cables or daisy-chain with the Telos Dimming Link Kit.
- Configure settings: Assign channels, set temperature limits, choose sunrise/sunset timings, and test responses.
Tech Specs
- Control type: 0–10V analogue dimming; dual-channel
- Fixture support: LED, HPS, UV (any 0–10V dimmable fixture)

Top Tip: Set your canopy temperature threshold conservatively (around 28–29°C). This way the controller dims before plants hit stress, protecting yield and quality even during summer peaks.
