Yep all working now :biggrin:

I should add that I got another EVG board from Martin, so that maks 3. I can turn on the 2 rows of blues seperately as well as the 2 rows of CW / NW. 6 channels of control now and I like to :biggrin:

Is your led light dimmable? If it is how? I just bought two led light fixtures with 4 plugs and I like to dim it down, but don't know how.

The wife knows what it cost but can't say anything because I make the money:biggrin: & it's now cheaper to run the lighting.

I can't really say what I has cost me for the LED component's simply because Martin & I are working on a few things together but it would be around $2200 for just the LED stuff.

Heat sinks cost roughly $80 to build.

All dimmable!! They are completely controlled with my Profilux 2ex controller. The drivers are dimmable & the EVG boards are what makes the 2 communicate.
