Do I need two power supplies for two (16.4 ft) LED Strips?
I’m interested in the Centric Daylight 4K LED strip lights for my garage. I have a few questions before I place an order. I’m wanting to install two reels worth of lighting (16.4/reel) in my garage. Is the two power supplies I need 3094.096? I’m wanting to use a typical dimmer, for those types of power supplies. Is there an illuminated switch you recommend? I want to be able to see it in total darkness. Also, I want a recessed aluminum channel but I didn’t see them on your website, any brand you recommend or point me where to get them?
You are correct that you will want two PN 3094.096 power supplies for each of the two LED strip reels. The good news is that both of these power supplies can be connected to a single wall-dimmer circuit (in parallel) so that you can control both LED strip reels from a single wall-dimmer. Below is a layout diagram showing how this can be configured:

Regarding illuminated switches, unfortunately, we don't have any active catalog of compatible dimmers with this feature, but we do maintain a general list of tested dimmers which can be found below:

We should note that our dimmable power supply is designed to work with all phase dimmers, so there is a good chance that it would be compatible with any given illuminated dimmer switch you end up going with (we would still recommend testing before permanent installation).
Our aluminum channel products are not specifically designed for recessed installations, but can certainly be installed in such locations if needed. The product link is below:
For a wider selection of aluminum channels, we would recommend reaching out to KLUS, which specializes in this area. The link is below:
