    So I finally got my DIY LED kit in from RapidLED, unfortunatley I didn't take any pictures of the LEDs going on the heatsink, there's hundreds of pics out there of that. I did take some of wiring the ProfiLux EVG-AP-2F control module for connecting the Meanwell drivers to my Profilux for dimming capabilities. Anyways here's some pics, got any questions I'll try to answer them.

    Just watched my ProfiLux fade out my lights over the last hour, it's perfect you can't notice the steps between percentages at all. Impressed.

    I don't use one but just want to say thanks for the great build pics. Wish I saw this when you posted it. Can you share details about setting the controller?

    I'm in the planing stage right now. Any tips on the wiring between the Profilux and the driver? I'm assuming it's 2 channels per outlet. Still trying to work out the perfect color combinations... to much information!
