I cracked open the meanwell driver. There are some simple heatsinks inside, but it's the pcb which is directly screwed to the bottom part of it's housing. The clamshell housing doesn't have any vents and actually has gaskets along the outer edge creating a nice seal. My understanding is that without any applied voltage to the dimmer controls, then no DC output is made. Thanks for reply Tim.

I am wanting to learn what others have done with their meanwell drivers. Pics are a plus I know I can simply solder the bare wires then heatshrink and keep things "exposed" per se, but I was thinking a nicer solution would be to place it inside a project box and make a clean interface using standard IEC power cord (think pc desktop power cord), rj45 for the dimmer controls, and cannabilize the cord + tip from an a/c adapter (i'm connecting to Ecoxotic Stunner strips). One concern is how much heat do these things generate? The project box has a aluminum lid and I could easily drill ventilation holes as needed. Thoughts & suggestions appreciated. TIA

I saw my tuxedo urchin releasing this white stuff from it's top (not quite dead center though). I usually see it releasing pellets (top, dead center) which I will assume is poop of some sort. Any insight appreciated! Pic: Video (it's still uploading as of 3:50p - another 1hr to complete): http://youtu.be/4PU9LMPBrb0

Cleaning up some overgrowth, so it's just the mat, eg not on rock.

Since you are trying to test your equipment, I just tested the 2 used 36" bulbs I have and unfortunately only 1 is still good. You are still welcome to it, and i'll have it in my car when I go to work. Lmk.

Small world... b400.3a...

Cool! Yeah, i'm down SW Parkway @ AMD. And there's no charge, just happy someone could make use of them

Sorry we left the house before you posted, so I didn't bring the bulbs with us. We live near RCA and/or I work in SW Austin.
