Alright boys, we're in business. Relay works (short 12 and on/off). PWM dims down to 1% without flicker!

Lol omg im more confused now than ever
Good call on the cannon plugs! It looks way cleaner. I have the same light rig and am hoping to get the same end result but I'm using a pi hat from @theatrus so I think I'll have to do some extra work to push that on/off bit to the light. I think I would be ok leaving the 12V and ground from the original light right?
You might need to be a bit careful with that. I don't think the picoboard exposes the PWM output based on page 6 of the schematic. It seems to smooth out the PWM and convert to a 0-10v analog signal. A voltage over 3.3 volts could potentially damage your light.Good call on the cannon plugs! It looks way cleaner.

The ground line will need to be tied into the rest of the system in order for it to understand a pwm input signal.
