I have 2xHLG185-1400 (COBs) and 1xHLG240-1050 (QBs), each with it's own pot & 10k resistor on the negative side.
I tried wiring the positive dimming leads of all 3 drivers to one wago and from there to the pot.
Tied the negative leads to a second wago and put a 47k resistor between it and the pot.
I read everywhere I need a 33k pot. It's in the mail. While I wait I thought I'll try a 47k like stardustsailor suggested here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/meanwell-led-drivers-3-in-1-dimming-function.838760/#post-10725098
I figured I get something..
What I got is probably a short of the dimming leads.
The LEDs were on 100% (power monitor connected on the AC side of the QBs) and the pot did not do anything.
I also messed around with a small electricity simulator and hooking up the leads that way got them shorted.
So what am I doing wrong? How do I wire it the right way?
