I think I read on the 3-in-1 dimming thread by Stardust Sailor you wanna use 46K pot?
But a 33K pot is near impossible to come upon. Closest will be 35K.

I have no clue. I just read i need a 33k for 3 drivers. How could i make a 46 work?

Will this work?

It will. 35k is also good, if not better.

That'll work perfectly.
Not sure with the larger 320, 480, & 600 sized drivers if you're supposed to use a resistor on the white dim lead. It would be 3.6K Ohm sized one since it skips between 3.4-3.6.
Very cheap and easy to buy online as well.

If I ran no dimming and the fixture im building is full cycle couldnt I just raise the light higher than normal to veg until they are strong enough to lower the lights back down

Understood the diy part is easy to me just getting the right information is sometimes hard. And that's where I am.

I read that thread but still was a bit confused after. Maybe I have to read it again
