Dimmable and Flicker-free Lighting for Video/Photo Studio

I'm a videographer and I'm in the process of helping our contractor to convert an existing office space into several small video/photo studios as well as multi-person editing suite. 

Our needs are for the studio lighting to be daylight balanced (ideally 5600K), dimmable, and flicker free. 

1) Would this power supply allow flicker-free dimming using a standard wall dimmer from your dimmer compatibility list (e.g. LUTRON SCL-153PR-WH, LUTRON DVCL-153PR-WH) or would it require your FilmGrade Flicker-Free LED Dimmer?

2) Are your aluminum channels suitable for being suspended from a ceiling rather than directly mounted to a flat surface? If so, do you have any guidance on how that might be done? If not, are there any fixtures that you could recommend that are compatible to be fitted with your LED strips?

3) Finally, do you have any suggestions for how LED strips might be incorporated into a drop ceiling? 

We are happy to confirm that both of the referenced Lutron models have been tested as compatible with our power supplies. For a full list of compatible dimmers, please reference the document linked below. 

We can also confirm that we have not had any experience with suspending the aluminum channels from the ceiling as a lighting installation before. As such, we unfortunately might not have any helpful advice for this installation type. 

​As an alternative, you may be interested to know that our T8 LED tube lights feature the same LED technology as the LED strip lights. Further, we are introducing a line of LED-ready T8 fixtures that are designed for office and workspace installations.

We have also provided a link below to our Lumen Estimation Calculator tool, which can be helpful for determining the lumen requirements for different spaces.
