Good evenening,
Firts of all I want to say that this is my first topic on this forum, I've read the guidelines and other information but if something is not according with the rules please let me know.
I am new to programming so every kind of support is welcome 
I'am making a automated system for my aquarium and a part of this system is adjusting the brightness of the lights and making it possible to dim completely. I am using 5 meanwell ldd drivers on a PCB board which require a PWM value from 0-255 each.
Ive tested the dimming with a potmeter and mapped the value from 1023 to 255 and wrote it to the PWM output pin for the driver using analogwrite and that worked!
Now I made a Nextion file with sliders to send the PWM value to the drivers but there is a problem. The lighting is not dimming its just going on at a value of around 134 with full brightness and of when the slider is below that. Ive checked the values the slider puts out and those are values from 0-255 just like I want. Its just not working...
I found a tutorial on the internet which I copied to check if it was my coding and this had the same problem.

video of me running the tutorial: from the tutorial - YouTube
Here a video of me trying my own code:
Kind regards Hugo
The code I use is the following NOTE! The slider that im taling about is h0, this is the first void you see.
<#include <Nextion.h>;
const int CoolWhite = 8; // LED drive
const int WarmWhite = 9; // LED drive
const int RoyalBlue = 10; // LED drive
const int DeepRed = 11; // LED drive
const int Moonlight = 12; // LED drive
int licht1;
