    Very nice, Cosmo!!!! I can't wait until I set mine up!

    Oh, btw, I came across this video to show how to set the driver up and adjust the current by setting the multimeter inline, just like you said. thanks again for the help, and thank you to Evolved as well!

    The LEDs have a minimum drive voltage. Usually 5-15% of the max voltage. Running them under this can damage them over time.
