I have 7 strings of outdoor solar LED strings with 3 volt batteries wired in parallel. Will this dimmer work?

It is rated 12 to 24 volt range so 3 volt system probably won't work with it since you are having it wired in parallel.

There is no reason it wouldn't work on a 12V system as long as it is DC (Malibu Lights ???), anyhow, you may wish to use a dimmer with them. They are really bright and dimming them should extend their life.

I do not know if this will work for 12 volt LED lights. I cannot advise you on that at all.

I would disagree (about them working). I have 24 volt LEDs and they work on 12 volts so it follows that a 12 volt LED strip would work on 6 volts. It will be dimmer/not as bright. That might be acceptable/might not. With my 24 volt LEDs, I was using them for illuminating a sandblasting cabinet so they were rather dim and inadequate for that application.

That would be a question for Lutron. Depends I guess on the amount of electricity running through it and I have no idea what the limits of this dimmer switch are.

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 think that you will have to wire them parallel. Each light has it's own transformer built in. Make sure that your dimmer can carry the load. Take note, I have never done this, but I am an experienced electrician. I would try parallel.

Probably not. Most dimmers work by taking away some of the phase of the AC wave form. By only rectifying part of the wave it cuts back the voltage from 110 AC. 12VDC wouldn't even turn it on. Most 12VDC dimmers like the dash lights on a older car work with a variable resistor.

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.

Hi, this depends on what type of switch it is. I think this product is a 2 way switch. If it is, no it won't work. If you are installing this in a 3 way setup where there is another 3 way switch, then the dimmer has to be a 3 way dimmer switch. Another thing to keep in mind is that the light you want to dim has to be able to be dimmable. Example, if it is a flourescent light it must be a dimmable type. Usually incandescent or halogen bulbs are used where dimmers are used. Hope this helps

I believe it will the tolerance on the switch is pretty wide, and the poles are clearly marked. It will depend on your LEDs to determine if they are dimable.

Don't know. I have 1 controlling LEDs around my RV. Its outside and has worked well so far.

You will likely need 5 of these for a run that long, or the colors will all be off and some will be dimmer. Not a good thing.As far as compatibility, if you can solder they will work.

Yes but the more lights you add the lights at end of string will dim a little but 7 should be perfect

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

I see no reason why not. Just remember the supply wire from the battery to a switch then to the main connection point of all four lights must be able to support the total wattage of ALL the lights combined. The switch ( if there is one ) must also be able to handle the total wattage.

Lutron dimmers work. They have several dimmers so be sure you select one that supports LED. good luck!
