Will this dimmer work for LED tape type strip lights with an attached hardwired transformer?

I doubt it. The LED bulbs I used had a phone number to call and ask them what dimmers would work. It seems any and all LED lights must be matched to specific dimmers.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

The package came with a three level dimmer control that I did not need - my interest was only in the transformer.I would think that this three level dimmer could be used as a substitute ; the compatibility of the connector would be the only matter to investigate,

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

This transformer should work, if you add a pmw dimmer can control the water flux.

Yes. I hooked my led strip to it and it works like it should. The switch is very well built...I like it a lot.

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divideby your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire)This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

It is suitable for use as a magnetic low voltage dimmer. To my knowledge it will NOT work on electronic low voltage transformers.

Dear customer:Thanks for your email! This dimmer is works for single color strip light, two of wires(black and red) hook up with input and the other wires (red and green) work with output. Based on your description, i assume it supposed to be the right switch you are looking for. If you have any other question, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you!

Any wall dimmer will work for this. I installed this on a typical Lutron wall switch/dimmer from home Depot. Since it is an LEd light and not a CF light, any dimmer you buy should work fine for you.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

Depends on the LED under cabinet light. If you are using LED tape light that works on 12VDC then the answer is YES

You will need to cut the DC connectors and strip the wires on both the power supply and the LED strip in order to use this remote dimmer. another option is to buy the "ABI Inline RF Remote Control Dimmer Switch for LED Strip Light" that has proper connectors on both ends.

I hard wired mine to a regular on/off switch. Not sure how it would work with a wall dimmer since LEDs need their driver to be dimmable. There is a bit of lag time when turning them on. You still need to use their little ac to dc converter. Just snip off the plug and connect to your hard wires.

I'm not sure about dimmable, but there is nothing inherent to LED technology to rule that out. Hardwired would be difficult to pull off under code. The included cord exits out the end of the light, and there is no conduit fitting. There's no way to mount the light to a box either. Theoretically, you could use the included cord, cut the end off and make it up to the supply wires in a box, but that would not be compliant with any electrical code. The legit way to do it is to install an outlet and plug it in.
