Can I plug the power supply in an outlet that is dimmable with existing Lutron dimmer?

I doubt so. The unit is pretty much identical to any AC-DC converter you might find for any other electronic device, and they are built to expect a constant supply of power. The input specs on the unit also indicate it's input range would not accomidate a dimmer from what I can see. Your best bet from what I can see would be to purchase one of the PWM dimmer packages available if you would like to dim the lights off of this unit.

Unfortunately, you cannot. This power adapter is not dimmable. As Erik suggested, we typically use dimmers that install between your power adapter and LED strip.

In the description is says: DimmableAll of our power supplies are compatible with dimmers, either 12 volts DC or 110 volts AC varieties.So, which is it??

I think this should work just fine - but I bought 2 dimmers and only one worked. The voltage of your power module is in the range of the dimmer and the current draw is well under the 2 amp. maximum. I cut the connectors off and soldered the wires directly into the circuit and the one unit works well.

That's how I have mine set up; in line with a dimmer. It works well and has for the past six months or so. I'm not aware that you need a power supply that is specifically built for "dimming". As far as I know, any power supply will work as long as it outputs the correct voltage.

It would be helpful to you to call Lutron and ask them about your specific situation. They are very helpful and will tell you which dimmer will work best.

The Twelve dollar price is for 1 puck light with no AC adapter. I used a 30 watt power adpter that cost about $14. to run my 6 upper lights and another one to run my 6 lower cabinet lights. This unit (I don't think) is capable of dimming (not sure but don't think so) but you can look it up under " Ledwholesalers 30 Watt LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer 120 to 12 Volt DC Output, 3207 "

You are correct. This dimmer needs 12V input and will output 12V. It only can work with low voltage lights.

chuck you can buy a 60w class 2 transformer that dimmable but there big and I usually install then in a cabinet under the sink but what I figured out if use a normal 72 w transformer or a lap top transformer 500millaamps will work fine and install a 12v dimmer and break the load side of the 12v is a cleaner look jerry@starelectricservices.com for more help

You can, but it may not dim the LEDs the way you expect. It shouldn't hurt the power supply though.

This item is not dimmable. To make it dimmable, one would need to use a compatible constant current driver along with a dimmer switch.

I would recommend using the 12v dimmer after the power supply. Cutting"Dimming" the power prior to a power supply defeats the purpose of its capability to convert power from 110v AC to 12v DC. This is the one that I used Leegoal LEDwholesalers LED Strip Lights PWM Dimming Controller For LED Lights or Ribbon, 12 Volt 8/10 Amp, 3301

You can purchase components separately on-line. I don't know about the dimmer but the power supply (transformer) has to match the voltage of the lights, twelve volt or twenty four.

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work

Yes you can. We recommend a BR30 or PAR30 LED. Please verify dimmer compatibility with the LED lamp.

No. You need a dual dimmer that has two 300 watt circuit capacity. toal of 600w rating. try this oneLeviton 6628-W SureSlide 300W Per Circuit Incandescent or 300VA Magnetic Low Voltage Dual slide-to-OFF Dimmer, Single Pole, White

I didn't use a dimmer, but yes you can Plug to the outlet and control by wall switch. I think you can replace wall switch by dimmer too

Probably not a good idea. The transformer that controls the LED's requires a steady voltage input to work correctly. If you reduce it with a dimmer you most likely cause it to work outside its designed parameters. I'm not an electrician so this is just my speculation. Unless it says safe to use with a dimmer in the instructions I wouldn't.

If you connect the dimmer control between the power source and the splitter or a single light bar it should work just fine. Try both setups to see if the splitter is the problem. If you get only an on/off response or nothing at all with that connection I am sure Lightwiki will quickly replace your dimmer control. Just so you know, my entire system worked great right out of the box and is still working fine. Mike
