If you want that extra 8%, you can just add a switch in line. Nice work.
I was actually going to ask about mounting a switch in the box. please elaborate for the class. lol
... and i don't understand about extra 8% to be honest.

All the switch has to do is make sure the circuit between the white and blue is open. Nothing more. Look up the driver and you will see with out a dimmer it runs a 108% of output. To add to the confusion, you could add a third 50 pot. and have a switch to also allow you to dim as a unit. Mine is uglier but simple, plug and play or disconnect for superlumens :bigjoint: led style. I have a running different wattage on most of my lights, so this will make change for me easier.

i had some issue jamming this thin stranded wire into the ideal holders connections, i had to stick a thin steel pokie thingy inside and wiggle it open... very carefully. and i tinned the ends of the wires and i was good to go.

used these three port wagos to connect the two AC sides of the drivers. white paper for your viewing pleasure.
