    LOL. In a month I will have forgotten what it means.

    Before nanotuners started carrying the Thomas Research drivers your only choices were DIY, Meanwell, or buckpucks. Each had their issues.
    DIY is an amazing option and I will definitely look into that again for future builds, but you need a custom circuit board
    Meanwell couldn't do 6 led's and if you want dimming you have to add separate chips and power supplies.
    Buckpucks were better options, but still frustrating because you need separate power supplies which means you had to order different parts from different places, mixing and matching if you decide to tweak anything.
