Will this dim an electronic transformer?

Check the specs on dimmer...I know for sure it will dim a magnetic transformer as I have it in my house for lv potlights

You can dim on the line voltage side. You have to make sure the dimmer is ok with a magnetic transformer though. That is a must!!! These aren't cheap either. The cheapest dimmer I could find was about $40. Also get the lowest watt rated dimmer you can find. Higher ones sometimes flicker when dimmed low, if you only have one low power transformer on the circuit.

From what I understand a dimmer would need to be added between the transformer and the LED lights. The transformer isn't dimmed it is the power out of the transformer that is dimmed. But you need to use a DC power LED dimmer.

Yes. I am currently using this on a 12 volt A/C driver. the dimming has to be done on the secondary side. The 12 Volt side.. Or, you can use a magnetic driver, and use a magnetic low voltage dimmer on the 110 volt side. Both work well with this bulb.

Don't know. Sorry - just bought as a replacement set and my guess would be no - not dimming.

I don't think so. They have a dc transformer. You can wire them into a non dim-able light switch. I bought a remote dimmer I can use to dim them.

No it is NOT dimmable and contrary to another answer it CANNOT be dimmed with a separate transformer. You can't guess at these things. If you don't know, don't answer the question. I did try a separate dimmer but the light dimmed about 5%, flickered, and then went out. It is meant to be used as is. If you would like to know why some fluorescent lights can or cannot be dimmed, look it up on the internet. You can find some nice technical explanations.

It clicks on and off. I don't see how to dim it unless you buy some kind of outboard unit that this would plug into.

I doubt so. The unit is pretty much identical to any AC-DC converter you might find for any other electronic device, and they are built to expect a constant supply of power. The input specs on the unit also indicate it's input range would not accomidate a dimmer from what I can see.Your best bet from what I can see would be to purchase one of the PWM dimmer packages available if you would like to dim the lights off of this unit.

Mine work fine on my existing 12 Volt AC transformer. Even though this MR16 is dimmable you cannot use a solid-state dimmer on a transformer.

Yes, but there are two details. 1) the dimming will most likely be a stepping dim, not a smooth dim, and 2) when off the LED will still glow very dimly

Yes, this transformer will be work with this dimmer if its output voltage is DC12V.Because the input voltage of this 11keys dimmer is DC12V.Bruce

No it will not. The photo eye on the bottom turns the transformer on or off. The timer can also be used to determine how long the lights remain on at night and can also be used to turn the lights on at a certain time after dark. The motion sensor only works with the dimming feature.

My lighting designer told me that it would not work with low voltage transformers. They suggested the Lutron Diva for that purpose, which is what I am using. I used these everywhere else in my house, though, and they work well. They're a little strange to wire, especially in 3-way and 4-way applications, so you need to have the wiring instructions handy when you're installing them. We also did use these with LED bulbs, and the dimming works funky with dimmable Cree LEDs. One light fixture had two Cree dimmable LED bulbs in it, and the light would not come on when set to a dimming position, when when "turned up" it would flash one of the bulbs on, and then finally the other one. We did not experience this problem with TCP LED halogen replacements, only with Cree standard dimmable LEDs.

Not really... Since it's an electronic Transformer it will put a "buzz" in your system. You need a straight transformer such as a large wall wart type.

not sure, but from what I have seen on forums is its most likely no.the electronics inside are not made for dimming.

This transformer can be dimmed on the 120 volt side and will work with led puck lights as long as they are 12 volt puck lights. Most puck lights I deal with are 1.7 watts which would require a minimum of 12 for this transformer to function properly.
