OK think I found the info. On page 63 of the Comprehensive Manual (first link at the address above) I found this:

Quote:
Programming for dimmable lights is a little different than regular lights or even variable voltage pumps. For
starters, you use two outlets for each ballast – an EB8 outlet for the 120vac power and a variable speed outlet to
control the dimming. This is true whether you have VHO or LED.
Guess it depends on the ballast, maybe 0 on the input doesn't shut the ballast completely off so you want to cut the power at the plug as well.. Weird because I don't think you need to do that for controllable pumps..

Ya I read that in the manual. Completely read the Apex manual the past 3 nights here after shift. I guess it more a question for Meanwell. maybe tomorrow I'll appropriate the companies long distance and call them with an "electrical question" on their drivers powering our LED lights throughout the plant HAHAHA We do have lots, but there all Non dimmable Thats where I got 3 of my main LED chips from hahaha
