Is it possible to use a potentiometer to control intensity?

What drivers are they? I know they're Meanwell ELNs but, what is the last letter? If it's a D it's an analog driver and needs to be dimmed via a potentiometer. If the last letter is a P then you need a PWM dimmer.

Potentiometer it is...would that be wired inline on the power cords before the drivers?

No the drivers have 4 output wires red, black, blue white. Red = LED + black = LED -, blue = dimmer + and white = dimmer -. You also need to power the POT. Imo, these drivers are a pain in the butt, wiring wise. I think at the very least I'd get some inventronics drivers, which can run a 10k POT with having to wiring a power in a separate power supply. If you really wanted to make this setup better you could buy some LDD drivers, some sort of PWM driver and a power supply. Just food for thought.
