TWINSTARAquarium LED Light Dimmer Timer Controller

Just received the Twinstar LED Dimmer/Timer. I have been really disappointed with Twinstar's lack of accessories in general, and the quality of this LED Dimmer in particular (the ONE accessory they offer that I am aware of).Please refer to my attached photos:The connection is so loose (#2) that I had to wrap it with electrical tape so it would not fall out on its own and disconnect.And connection #1 is so tight that I was afraid I might damage it by forcing them together.At first I was sure this dimmer was not meant for this particular Twinstar ( Ver. III SP Series Pendant) light. But I managed to shove them together and it works.For such an expensive light fixture I expect much better quality control - and while we're at it how 'bout some much neededaccessories, like reflector shades for one. The light spill into the room is blinding with these lights! Twinstar doesn't offer them.I discovered Chihiros aquarium lighting since this Twinstar purchase and they are SO MUCH BETTER. I have them on all my other tanks and they blow Twinstar away in quality, price (still not inexpensive mind you), available accessories, and spectrum control via their pretty good app.I have not yet had the chance to evaluate the timer mode with this dimmer as I have only just received it. It will take 24 hours to see how that works and if I'm able to add to this review after the initial posting I will add my experience here.EDIT: I have been able to observe the timer function and it worked just fine (1 time/24 hr cycle so far). It's primitive, you have to wait until the time of day you want the light to turn on and then set the timer to one of only 3 choices for a duration of either 6, 8, or10 hours. The light then turns off at the selected interval, and back on again the next day at the time you began the cycle.Again, for the price of these Twinstar lights you'd THINK they'd have included a timer. But no, in fact Twinstar doesn't even include and ON/OFF switch! Just total disregard for the user/purchaser of their product.I should freaking deduct another star as I get more disgusted the more I think about this expensive light's shortcomings. But I'll leave it at 3 stars as I originally submitted. The quality of the light itself is good. And it's very powerful and the spectrum makes the reds in my tank pop beautifully.This dimmer really is a must have I believe in order to get the best out of these lights. It's just a crime they are not included as part of a light kit from the jump.I would suggest you look to other manufacturers who care about their customers and give you a lot more for your money. If I had to do it over again I would definitely not spend the money on a Twinstar. Have a look at Chihiros and see what I'm talking about.

The media could not be loaded. I bought two of these dimmers. Both flicker in the majority of the settings when I go through the dimmer selection. It doesn’t flicker to only a few settings. Anyone else having this problem? Is it not usable with Twinstar C series?? Whyyyyyyy??? T_T Otherwise this would be great.
