Hello,
I have some meanwell LDD drivers in a DIY build I did for my frag tank. I am going to make a simple dimmer arduino nano module, but still want the ability to turn them off with a switch. I got some toggle switches, but am unsure of the best place to put them in the circuit. Should I put them on the power going into the driver between the power supply and the driver or the power going out of the driver into the leds between the leds and the driver. Does it matter? Thanks!

Put them on the input power line to the Driver, not after. It matters, you don't want to driver running if its not doing anything, thats just a waste.
