Meanwell + to LED - ?? or + to + ... + on meanwell to + on first LED in the string. - on meanwell to - on last LED in the string. It should form a complete loop.
Guest thefishman65 January 9, 2012 January 9, 2012 that circuit won't light You need to apply a dimming signal also - I just say this because I have read a lot of threads lately where this seemed to be a problem (people left it unconnected).
Glenn January 9, 2012 Author January 9, 2012 Thanks for the clarification ... don't know why, but I thought it was + to - on the driver also ... And Rob - for the dimmer, I think I used a 9v battery for the build/test, then hooked it up to the Apex for the actual run-time use.
