Will this work with a LED lighting system to take 500w DC output from a power source and distribute it to 4 dimmer packs?

What ever you put into it you will get out .You put 12v 500mah. On one end you will get the same at 5he other.

Yes bar is heavy duty and remember the whole bar becomes charged when you add one wire to it, that is if wire is positive. Or the whole bar can be used as a ground bar. I bought two for a custom car setup. One for + and one for - . They look great and keep things neat

It should work fine. The 500W DC would be connected to either of the end terminals and then your 4 dimmers connected to the screw terminals.

Hi Denton...should work, my install is behind a double switch plate with one traditional switch and this timer. This works well with LED lights, it has a battery to assist the switching action because of the small amount out electricity for operation. Others will not work on low voltage lights.Joe

I agree with Cliff. The voltage and wattage are the most important parameters and this supply matches your requirement. Physical size could be important, but I've found the dimensions to be very close - check your space and see if it fits. These are designed to mount inside a metal box or metal fixture base. These are switching power supplies which should not have any effect for incandescent lights.

Since you didn't describe the type of LED lights, it's hard to give you a good diagnosis. As others and I can attest, this does work with dimmable LED lights (mine are 2 PAR30s on a track). I will note that switches like this have a minimum load that's required. If you are using LED MR16s, 7 of them won't have enough load to work properly. On one setup, with just a single 15W LED, the light would not go off. I added a 20W halogen in the circuit and it works fine now.

All should work. Driver is designed for Triac dimming which is worst case scenario for dimmers. CFL/LED might actually work better then ELV dimmer because it has a boost preset so the light always comes on at lowest dim.

Steve Horvath asked the question specifically about the 12VDC version of the light. LED Wholesalers sells a 12VDC, and a 120VAC version of the light. As long as your low voltage landscape lighting system can supply 12 volts DC (not AC), and can supply at least 10 watts of power, then yes this light will work fine.If, however, your low voltage system provides AC power instead of DC... then no.If your low voltage lighting system is 12 volts DC, make certain that you buy the 12VDC version of the light.

I'm not exactly sure that I understand what you are asking, but here's my best shot. Hope it helps! Short answer: No. Long answer: If I understand this correctly you have 12V LEDs and a 110V dimmer? This power supply regulates to a target voltage around 12V optimally independent of the input voltage. Simply put, if you put 110V or 90V to this it should still output 12V. There is a voltage adjustment on here that you could use as a dimmer that lets you adjust the regulated voltage from 10-18V. So if you don't need a remote dimmer adjustment and this is enough variance for you then it might still work. Hope that helped, and let me know if you have any other questions!

As it's a DC output it should be possible. Make sure the LED you use is also listed as dimmable on a DC transformer.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

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 really doubt it. See the datasheet; It show good line regulation capabilities (2nd page graph): http://www.meanwell.com/search/nes-350/default.htmWhat I used was 12 volt dimmers on the low voltage side: http://www.dx.com/p/dimming-controller-for-led-lights-dc-12v-73618 I'm guessing that you want to dim other 120 vac halogen lamps on the same circuit at the same time?Something for someone to invent...

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

I doubt it. Better to put a dimmer AFTER the converter block. That is how I run my LED lights, and it works flawlessly *PROVIDED YOU HAVE DIMMABLE LED LIGHTS*. Mine are remote-controlled 16' Cool White CREE strings, and they work flawlessly when dimmed *AFTER* the converter. The power OUT lines are connected to the dimmer unit, and the dimmer unit is connected to the LED string leads. I wouldn't try to put a dimmer on the 120V side, but that's just me.

Are you using this for LED tape light? The dimmer is rated for 12 volts. If you hook it up to a power source with a voltage greater than 12 volts the switch may work for awhile, but will eventually get fried.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide >30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

If you bought several kits and used them independently with the supply provided with each (not connecting them together) it would work. However if you want to connect them together you would need to calculate the wattage of the entire run and buy an appropriately sized power supply. 5050SMD's draw about .24w per LED. This kit has 300 5050SMD's so it's 72 watts.
