Hey guys, I just ordered some qb96 lights and am going to run them individually on 2x hlg-185-54b. Is there a way to run both drivers off the same potentiometer? From what I'm understanding, I think I need a 100k ohm 0.5w liner taper potentiometer? I've seen them with 3 pins, but also 6 pins. Would I get a 6 pin one to run both? Any info is appreciated!
 
I know just enough about electronics to be dangerous, so take what I write with a big bag of salt.

I think what you are looking for is a dual-gang pot: two potentiometers on one shaft.
