Dimmable power supplies are key for customizing LED brightness, saving energy, and extending fixture life. This quick guide helps you use them effectively.
Choose the Right One
- Constant voltage: Best for LED strips.
- Constant current: Ideal for spotlights/downlights.
- Dimming methods: Triac (affordable), ELV (smooth), 0–10V (commercial), PWM (flicker-free for smart homes).
Key Tips
- Check compatibility: Match voltage, current and dimming method with your dimmer and LEDs.
- Install safely: Disconnect power first, use correct polarity, avoid wet areas (unless weatherproof).
- Avoid overloading (60–80% capacity) and keep PWM frequency ≥20kHz to prevent flicker.
Quick Troubleshooting
- Flickering: Use a compatible dimmable power supply (fix mismatched method/low PWM).
- No dimming: Double-check wiring and component compatibility.
