I am using two buckpuck drivers to control an LED array. One channel is white, the other blue. I use the 3021-D-I-1000 model. The datasheet can be found here.

The controller is a RKM-ALC made by digital aquatics that provides two 0-10v dimmer control signals, at 34ma.
So lets just focus on one channel, since what works for one, will work for the other.
How can I effectively halve this signal to work on a 0-5v control circuit?
Someone mentioned using 1k ohm resistors, and since the control pin impedance is 1k ohm, I would only need one, but when I try this it does not work. It also does not work with one placed on each line.
I need a detailed explanation as I have not had any experience with circuit design in over 10 years. I am getting really frustrated with this project at this point.
