Is this what you need to make the light/blade go up and down? And is this all you need to wire in to do it?

If you have a question there is no need to post it twice. We'll see it. Give me a second and I'll whip up an answer.

The answer is like it usually is around here... It depends.

If you want a full retracting blade then no. Scrolling of light only happens in an LED string blade, the constant current is for 1 LED module at the bottom of the blade. But what it can do is mimic this effect. It's close, but not exactly like light climbing the blade.

It definitely sounds like you're just starting out here. I suggest you read these ALL the way through.
