For example restaurants and hotels may want to set a certain ambiance using led lights on a dimmer. A quick search on google i found low voltage dimmers from 25 over 250.

The dimmers go on the line side of the transformer the 120 volt side so if you want to control 3 different groups of lights you will also need three transformers. First you may just need larger wire. Another problem we ve noticed with led dimming includes new lighting technology. Brilliance led two wire low voltage ac dimmer.

Even though the led s themselves are dc devices for the outdoor lighting they put a little rectifier in afaik for dimming and a master on off you just put a dimmer on the supply side 120v to the transformer. This might sound backwards but using the latest and brightest lighting lamps and fixtures may not work for every setting. Make sure you get a magnetic transformer and a magnetic low voltage z wave dimmer. Installs in single gang deep junction.

No longer do you have to use a separate low voltage transformer with an inline 120v dimmer to dim your landscape lighting system. If you increase the size of the wire you are allowing the electricity to flow with less resistance and therefore lower the amount of voltage drop to each light. Yes you can dim low voltage lighting but be prepared for sticker shock. Also make sure the led s support dimming.

In some cases you might need to do both. Next option is to look at a different wiring method. When dimming a low voltage fixture the dimmer controls the line voltage 120 v input to the transformer powering the low voltage lamps. Led dimming and new technology.
