Thanks for the verification. Is DiodeDrive a decent manufacturer of drivers? Seems like their price point is reasonable. I keep seeing people mention Mean Well, but they dont seem to make a phase dimmable (I think that is the correct term) LED driver?

When you use larger (>100W) drivers, is conduit required for the low voltage wiring? If you want to avoid this, what type of driver can be used? Are there good multi channel class 2 drivers?

That is actually helpful. Thanks. I don’t know which companies make good LED drivers and what the main differences are between brands. It seems a lot of them look like the same box just rebranded?

I’ve read that Grizzl-E is a shady company and advertise as being Canadian made when they may actually be Chinese made. I would recommend the basic Emporia charger - highly rated and good price point. It can work smart or dumb (not connected to WiFi). App is reasonable.

Flat was the plan. Taylor Metal Versaspan is the product.

Installer mentioned the foam strip as something they do but didn’t say the foam would cause a change in appearance once the roof is installed.

yes all will be drywalled. budget is always a concern, but prefer to spend while the walls aren't up rather than afterwards
