LPF series LED drivers can be controlled with pwm expansion?

Just to be sure, the Meanwell LPF series LED drivers can be controlled with the reef angel pwm expansion module and NOT have to be plugged into the reef angel relay box?

LPF D or P? D would need analog expansion...P would need standard PWM. The drivers can be plugged into anything you'd like for constant power...then use the expansion to dim depending on which driver you have.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question and what you are trying to do?
Do you plan to use the dimming module without RA?
Or you plan on using the dimming module connected to RA, but have the drivers only connected to the dimming module and not the standard dimming channels on the side of the relay box?

Drew answered the question, thanks fellas.

It has been said that the LPF series drivers can dim very low and when the dimming signal does reach 0% the Driver goes into a standby mode switching into a low power state. This should allow the drivers to be plugged in to non RA relay box outlets (always on) and turned on/off via dimming signal only. This is how I understand it, and I plan on using these drivers myself but have not yet pulled the trigger and confirmed this.
