So am i all good to go guys and I ain't going to damage myself or any components?  ;D

I don't have a clue about electronics so i guess with my knowledge i'm hoping for the best. I would greatly appreciate if someone could please draw out a diagram on how to wire all this up.

Beers are on me hehe

Well, number 1, It looks like you bought a 24V power supply for a 12V circuit. So you'll probably blow out the LED's on first power up.

Then you do not need a relay board.
Just plug your light on any 12v supply (being leds they do not need much power) and add a switch on one of the two wires to put it on and off.
I do not use any dimmer on those lights, no need.

You can get a PSU at any computer repair shop for max $20.

The reason i want a relay card is for the logic in prosim when turning on DC POWER
