DIY led layout

[Twizted1]

I appreciate the info.
Wish these things came with instructions. Also wished the kits would come with everything you need. I picked this driver because it wasn't listed as one that needed the extra 10v power supply.
Can I run both pots of one power supply? Or do I need two?
The pots only markings are 2013 th-1 100ka.

That is true DIY, figure it out.   IT takes time to make instructions.   Very few drivers accept a resistor input, most are 0-10v or PWM (pulse witdh modulation)     

Measure the POT with a meter.   1 power supply should be fine

Lol true DIY is right. Thanks for all the help.

Didn't realize trying to find a 10v power supply locally would be such a fight. So I guess I'll have to order it on the line and wait.

[Wall_Tank]

Yes, I doubt anyone has that locally.

I give up. I'll at someone that knows what they are doing to get these working. Followed all instructions, double checked everything. Checked al connections with the little tester they sent. All I get is the first led flashing. When I turn the knob on the lot it makes it flash faster or slower. Does not light the strand. Thought it may be the driver, but it's doing the same with both drivers. On the blues I don't get anything at all. This is driving me crazy. I just need this completed, anyone know why they are doing?

Can you take good pictures of the wiring?

[Twizted1]

I have taken some apart at this point. But here is a video of how they are chained together. And how the 10v supply is connected. I had the neg from the supply and the neg dim from the driver connected to the tab to the far right. And the pos dim from the driver to the middle tab on the pot. I have tested all the connections and all passed. I tested incoming from the drive @ 42.5v. Also tested the connection of the 10v supply @ 9.7v. Something is wrong somewhere.

[Twizted1]

Can't get the video to load. Here a few close ups of how they are chained together.

Here are the pots.

Are you sure that you don't have a short circuit in the wiring.  The wires are stripped a bit longer than they needed to.

What was the voltage on the dimming wires on the drivers?

I didn't even notice how much I striped. I was in a big hurry when I done it. I do see a few places that are kind of iffy. I'll pull them off and put fresh wire on. The dimming wires read 9.84v.

Anyone that knows how to, want to make some money finishing these LEDs up? I haven't had a chance to touch them. Hoping work slows just a little so I can get some things done.

[Twizted1]

Still looking for some help with these LEDs. Anyone?

Joe,

If your ever up this way....bring them with you.  I'll get them figured out.

I'll take you up on that. Thanks man.

How are the lights working out now that they are over the tank?

They are great. I didn't use the optics. And have them as low as they'll go. And that still may be to bright. Lol. Thanks again!
