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 will have to figure out how many amps your lights will draw. Then match that to a transformer

These lights are great, but I don't believe they can be dimmed. At least nothing about dimming support was mentioned with the product documentation and the transformer is expecting 110~120V. They aren't too bright though where I've found a case where I wanted them to be dimmed.

You will need a transformer to transform 120V to 12V since this dimmer switch requires a 12V input.

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.

I switched from the lamps to the LED units and used the old transformer from the initial installation. Obvious much larger than necessary since these LED's are rated at 2 watts. A smaller transformer of 40 watts will work fine with plenty of reserve to add more fixtures.

If your total wattage is 300 watts, I would go with a transformer that has a higher capacity than 300 watts or use multiple transformers. The pros recommend leaving at least a 10% leeway. Alternatively, convert to LED bulbs in your fixtures, which would draw considerably less wattage and save power.

To dim magnetic low voltage circuits (which can also contain regular line-voltage incandescents/halogens), you need switch MRF2-6MLV-WH (for up to 600 VA; you need to count the total power draw including the transformer loss, generally 1.25 times the low voltage bulb wattage). Lutron also makes a 1000VA switch for higher loads: MRF2-10D-120.

We used the Lutron Maestro dimmer for LEDs. Works perfectly. I would imagine there are other options, too. Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro 150-Watt Multi-Location CFL/LED Digital Dimmer

I had to purchase a lutron dvcl 153p al dimmer diva to solve the pulsing LED lights. This dimmer works great.

you need to know what the amp draw is per light to know what size transformer you will need from 5 amp up to 30 amp find out then i can help you

You will need a 12 volt transformer and low voltage cable. The size of the transformer depends on how many lights you are using and their combined wattage. If you are using LED lights a 44 watt transformer will be sufficient. The transformer is plugged into an electrical outlet. You will need sufficient low voltage cable to cover the distance from the transformer to the light placement.

You should be able to use any transformer designed for low voltage (12 volt) lighting. I believe that Amazon may sell some of these transformers - search to find out.

The LED Wholesalers website has a list of compatible dimmers and the DVLV-600P is on the list. http://ledwholesalers.com/instructions/dimmable_transformer_compatibility.htm

I bought this transformer from a Amazon seller for one of my project but it is not working, So I don't know if it works for LED or halogen.

Hi ! Before you buy it check the " actual transformer for LED ". Check the voltage and the POWER required . Normally LED strings/strips are working at 12VDC . as I do not know your "LED arrangement" I cannot say if this transformer can be used for your application !

If the fixture has a MR16 bulb then this bulb should work the transformer should only affect the dimmer
