sorry i thought u had Vestas

I didn't specify that lol. Its all good. Does anybody have an idea what kind of fuses would work?

[tazztone]

what kind of fuses would work?

i guess you could try these (blade fuses),

plus 1A fuses (make sure they fit the fuse holder):

OK, so if I want to dim 4 drivers together and be able to achieve max output, could a 10k pot be used? I'm going to have 4 drivers running the 5000k and the other 4 drivers running the 2700k, if at all possible and feasible I'd like to be able to dim them all at once, for simplicity and uniformity.

yes, but it could to be hard to dial in anything between 0-100% because of the logarithmic response curve of the driver's dimming leads to resistance applied.
i guess the more drivers you connect to one potentiometer the harder it will get

Would a lower one work better then, maybe 5k?

[tazztone]

5k might really work a bit better if you look at the curve i posted on page 1.
BUT u probably wouldn't reach full 100% output

[sdfoster22]

5k only reaches about 70% of max on these drivers.

[infosponge]

What will get to 100%?

[sdfoster22]

10k ohm, but the more drivers you add the harder it is to dial it in.
