Hi all.

I'm looking for some advice on how to wire up a meanwell DRP-240-24.
I want to reduce the amount of power bricks and plugs used for my fish tank.
I have 8 plugs that I'd like to run off the MW PSU
The picture is how I understand it to work ? If someone could look at it and let me know if I'm right or not please

biggest wago is 5 port. but that looks OK as long as the MW supply is capable of handling the load, and all the loads are 24V DC.

Thank you, and yes the MW has enough power for all the equipment I want to run off it and they are all 24V I'll be doing another one for 12V at a later date.
Just wanted someone to confirm I had to right idea before I went ahead with it
 
So Ive got most the bits I need to do what I wanted. I was thinking of adding rocker switches to each of the DC jack plugs so I could turn them on/off individual without turning everything off at once. I'm told this could cause arching and would need to be addressed to safely add switches any advice on what to use?

A correctly rated switch should not cause any arcing problems.
