Dimming Constant current drivers for led lighting

Hi Gareth,

Sounds like you’ve made a huge step forward.

I’ve had a read of the PDF for that Meanwell box and if I’m reading it right, I can see how you’ve achieved the result.

I’ll build a diagram in the next few days and you can tell us if I’ve got it right.

As for more parts, please send me an email to my company address and I’ll send you a quote.

Actually some low voltage LED lamps Dim better than others. Some that just don’t Dim, or burn out really quickly.
To achieve dimming must provide the Constant current, Constant voltage, PWM. PWM is most common.
One other thing to consider is the frequency of the PWM.
The VMBRGBDC dimmers run at 90Hz, which is really slow.

I agree completely.

Although, one tiny detail.

The new VMB2LEDDC is a 500Hz dual channel low voltage dimmer, so the dimming curve should be really good.

I haven’t seen one in action yet, but I’ll be ordering a batch soon for a client.
