    Is there a way to use their two color basic dimmer for their 12 kit? Or should I just go with the constant current?

    You won't be able to dim the whites separate from the blues, since you'll only be running one driver. And you can't run only 6 diodes on a single meanwell, so using two drivers isn't an option either.

    That being said, you still want it dimmable.
