let us know how it turns out. I would test it myself, but I cant find my multimeter for the life of me, and I dont have time to dig through boxes right now, along with the other 10 things I need to find in said boxes
Quick Query on Cree COB/Meanwell Driver Running Efficency?

let me try.
wire = ------
Driver_(dim+ lead) --------(switch)--------(pot)-----------(dim- lead)_Driver
the whole thing would run in a circle from + to - in practice, as the + and - leads come out of the driver bound together, but my ascii art is a little primitive.
if thats too hard to follow I can attempt to find time for a paper sketch later this evening for ya perhaps.
good luck

The 10k resistor is included in the circuit so you never short out the dimming wires - effectively 10k-110k pot.
The switch connects the white lead to either the resistor/pot/blue wire circuit or nothing (open circuit, no dimming, override).

I like the 10k resistor addon, but how come you use the SPDT switch? There is nothing connected to the third terminal. You can accomplish the same thing with a regular on/of, 2 terminal SPST swich, which can be gotten just about anywhere, or can be repurposed by removing from almost any old piece of electric/electronic equipment. An SPDT switch is a more specialized item, and might be harder to find and/or more expensive. not to mention more confusing to set up.
