Got to Lov when a plan comes together
Can I ask the wattage from the wall will be on one set of boards? 4 will do nicely lighting up your grow.

Brown and blue are coming from the driver. Red and black are coming from the board. So one needs two wagos to connect the driver with the board…
Simpel after finding out…

Ahhh 
yeah I solder all my connections so I don’t even think of how they would be connected via waggo connections. I run a hlg600-b that has 2 feed lines to the strips. Gets a little more complicated. I remember before adding a petentiometer that the wattage to the strips would go up and down until I isolated the dimmer cable.

The first thing that I noticed was that you had both + and - leads in the same Wago. Each Wago is used to [easily] multiply the number of connections to ONE lead so you use one for + and another one for -
The result of shorting out the dimmer leads will either cause a failure to start anything or dim it so bad you would want it off. I shorted out a 480w light and it took a couple of days before I noticed it was running at about 50% power.
If any DIY lights wont start or are dimmed the first thing to do is pull the dimmer off. They short way more than people think.
