I thought the ssr I posted was a optocoupler ssr . Well that's what I found from my research . The 90 - 250v should work right . As the pot on circuit 2 will reach the minimum 90 what's quite easily I would assume ,turning on the circuit 1 . Circuit one has an led driver that requires a constant 110v to 240v input and will out put 12v at 6 amps to the led strip . I will look into what you have said a little more and post back . Thank you for your reply you have been very helpful .

 

I don't understand what I am missing ?

This problem on the surface could be solved very very simply if the circuit shown were simply that, you haven't stated here where the position and location of the various components are located WRT each other.
