What is correct? It's controlled only by a low volt switch on the output, or you can also choose to use a 120VAC dimmer on high volt side?

You can do it both ways, I do it on the 120VAC side because the dimmers are good quality and fit in a standard electrical box ,a lot of the low voltage dimmers are different and wont fit in the box , I have done many installations and I use this dimmer http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Toggler-600-Watt-Single-Pole-3-Way-Eco-dim-Dimmer-White-TG-603PGH-WH/100663449?N=c34i#.Uo_ntWTF36A

In our situation, it was controlled by a lutron conventional wall dimmer on the primary side (110V)

you use a magnetic dimmer switch which cost around $28.00 you run 120 vac to dimmer and then 120vac to the 60 watt driver. After that you run 18 gauge low voltage wire to led lights and use connectors for tape light to make breaks in the lights. It was a hard concept for me to grasp but you are dimming tthe 60 watt diver with a switch power by 120 VAC folloqw wiring instructions provide or you can con tact me at johnnybamboo @ aol.com and i will walk you through it for a fee.

Yes they are 120v. I haven't tried them on a dimmer but am sure they would work.

You never dim the 120v side of a power supply. Install a led dimmer after the power supply, on the 12v side. Most power supplies are made to output 12v even if the input varies a little. If you want to dim on the 120v side, buy a 120/12 transformer, a full wave bridge rectifier and a capacitor. Match the wattage of the components to what you need.

I did not use the supplied dimmer or my own dimmer. I wanted the full 12 watts from the 4 panels I used. I recall reading in the documentation that there is a problem using a 110v dimmer switch. Check their supplied info or website to determine the exact issue.

need more info.If started to flash when dimming to low end then read instructions-That dimmer may have a wheel or lever to ajust low end dimming. I have a several regular 120v skylarks on mine in different locations and they work fine

In the description is says: DimmableAll of our power supplies are compatible with dimmers, either 12 volts DC or 110 volts AC varieties.So, which is it??

Fine with all them, its not a dimmer or anything like. It just a fancy switch that turns the current on and off.

It is a magnetic low voltage dimmer for use with magnetic transformers. I am using it for in-ceiling halogen lighting. It should not be used for electronic low voltage transformers (I have some of these powering LED strip lighting). Check your transformer. This is also a Maestro Wireless dimmer which can be controlled by an external remote (such as a pico remote). If you don't need this functionality - use a MALV-600 - which is about $30 cheaper.

I'm not sure to be honest. My application was to control a 110v motor that had to have 'brushes'. Worked great for that. A quick Google on the subject tells of stories that your not alone and it may be the trade-off is a need for a more sufficticated and, thusly, more expensive Dimmer switch. Here's one link: https://www.smarthome.com/sh-solutions-why-do-lights-buzz-when-using-dimmer.htmlBest I can offer.

This is not a dimmable driver. You would need a 100w magnetic driver to dim the line or 120v side to get the output to change.

This item is not dimmable. To make it dimmable, one would need to use a compatible constant current driver along with a dimmer switch.

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.

I think you could dim it from the switch also.... I know you could from the dimmer, however I did away with these type switches.....they started coming on by themselves. I went with the heavy duty models and never had any more trouble.

Don't know the technical details, but you won't have that problem with this one. You might even find it to be too much. I've read some people use light switch type dimmers to lower the power and I believe it.

I am not using them in a dimming application, however, from the product description at Amazon:"Low Voltage: 12V AC/DC compatible; DIMMABLE when working with electronic dimmers"Electronic dimmers? I can't help you with that either.

Yes. A dimmer adjusts the voltage going to the bulb, so not dimmer, full power.

I purchased a 12v dimmer/affects switch that goes in line to the lights. I am unsure whether you could dim the 110 input.
