There are no notches. It's continuous.

Ohhh ok. so im guessing if you wanna try 1050 on a 1400 driver, you have to hook up your multi and check the output, to get it exact?

thanks

Hello, quick question. If I don't hook up a potentiometer on the "b" style, do I solder the wires together? Or leave open? Thank you in advance

Click to expand...

Open. Isolate the exposed tinned parts of the dimming wires just incase if your not going to be using them. Sometimes if you just hold them in one finger but not touch them they will still dim the light. Any resistnace or volage to them will cause dimming.
Long story short...Open is 100+% of rated power.
