Hey DIY folks... What's your preferred dimmable LED driver? I saw that some people had some issues with the meanwell. Are there others that are better?

Ideally I would like it to be AC powered and 5v PWM dimmable.

I'm thinking about making a set of water cooled LED spot lights and dimming them with a microcontroller to create sort of a "clouds passing over the reef" look.
 
Meanwell can do PWM and AC input (wall), but require 10VPWM
buckpucks can do 5V PWM, but require a low voltage AC (AC analog to the DC models)
xitanium can do AC input (wall), but are run at 10VDC
 
water cooled huh, I shoulda thought of that. Let me know if you need a rad, I have a left over 120mmx3 slim copper fin rad used like 2 months from an old computer build. I got it for free (shipping error after the company tried to screw me over so i kept it) so i'll trade it for a frag or 2, doesn't have to be fancy. I also have some old copper water blocks of various small sizes to add like a single/2/3 LEDs as a spotlight to your loop. None of them really match.
