What is DC 12V power supply?
12V power supplies (or 12VDC power supplies) are one of the most common power supplies in use today. Linear regulated 12VDC power supplies regulate the output using a dissipative regulating circuit. They are extremely stable, have very low ripple, and have no switching frequencies to produce EMI.
What is triac dimmer?
TRIAC dimmers are designed for resistive loads such as incandescent or halogen lights and have a significant installed base in the United States and worldwide. The TRIAC is a semiconductor triode that features two terminals and a gate.
Where can I get a magnitude 12VDC LED dimmer?
With Magnitude 12VDC LED drivers it is now easy to source TRIAC dimmers from well established manufacturers such as Lutron, Leviton and Legrand. On top of this, the wiring setup is much more simple and safe.
Can a magnitude led be used in a TRIAC dimmer?
Magnitude is compatible with most TRIAC (leading edge) MLV/Incandescent dimmers. I can’t tell you how many customers have said no to LED strips because there is no way to dim from the dimmers they already have in their house.
Is the magnitude class 2 dimmable voltage dimmable?
This Class 2 dimmable voltage LED driver comes in a super low profile aluminum case, making it the perfect choice for under cabinet lights, flex strip lights, and various LED fixture installations. This holds all the same electrical specs as the UL listed model: TRIAC (leading edge) dimmer compatibility, Auto Reset, and 90%+ efficiency.
What kind of dimmable power supply do I Need?
Depending on your inspectors requirements you can choose between the UL listed version that has it’s own junction box similar to the magnetic line, or the UL recognized super compact 12VDC power supply. These dimmable constant voltage power supplies are encased in a low profile aluminum Nema 3R enclosure that can be used for outdoor or indoor use.
