Dimmer2 in front or behind Driver?

  • Hi there.

    I want to install a Dimmer2 to dim my ceiling lamp, which is LED and has a 12V led driver in-line.

    Do I connect the Dimmer2 before the Driver or after the Driver?

    Thanks

  • Hi thanks. Actually, the supply to the ceiling lamp from the wall socket is 240v, and then this is converted to 12v within the lamp itself by its in-built transformer/driver.

    So my question is, would I install the Dimmer2 inside my wall switch (so at 240v) to be able to dim the light, or do I install further up the line after the 12v transformer/driver?

  • Dimmer2 is 110/230v, so you'd have to install the device before the LED driver (must be dimmable) within the 230v cirquit .. (e.g. inside the wall switch)

    Another option (as already mentioned): Use Shelly RGBW2 within the 12v cirquit.

    >100 Shellies, darunter so gut wie alles was der Hersteller produziert hat. ;)
