I am building a small led light fixture for a cube tank.
I just purchased the 12 pc ultra premium led kit from rapidled.com that comes with a single non-dimmable meanwell driver.
Can I wire this with switches to operate the blue and white lights separately? or must I use 2 drivers?
Can anyone provide a wiring diagram/recommended parts?
While shopping at local lighting store i came across a similar fixture with only 1 driver and 2 switches but couldn't figure out the wiring.

Thanks to all who have made great diy led threads.

I am not sure of what's in the kit as I saw no link but NO, you cannot somehow run the two colors separately with one driver.

you will need another driver just get one from rapidled they are a good site. Once you get it running you will love it i have the same kit running on my 12 gal jbj With great color and growth.
