I'm planning to use splitter to run two strips from one power source. Can the dimmer dim both strips at once?

You can as long as the strips are connected in parallel. Keep the output rating of the strips in mind as this dimmer is rated at a max of 2A. Pulling more than that could be dangerous

I have one power source and split my lights after my dimmer in my kitchen. If the two strips are not too long it should be no problem. Before you mount the strips try it and see if the dimmer stays cool. The power source also has to be sized correctly.

Yes, as long as the dimmer is rated for a low voltage or magnetic application, it dims when connected to the line voltage side. I just installed this transformer/dimmer for a client with led strip lights. It works nicely.

no the dimmer needs to be between the light and the power supply if you put it be for you will cut the power it requires and you take a chance of damaging the power supply

It depends on your control module. Most of them allow you to control more than one circuit at once but the amount may be limited. I reccomend checking the specifacations of your control module for this.

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

I think this should work just fine - but I bought 2 dimmers and only one worked. The voltage of your power module is in the range of the dimmer and the current draw is well under the 2 amp. maximum. I cut the connectors off and soldered the wires directly into the circuit and the one unit works well.

Yes these dimmers are made to be used as either single pole or 3 way and the instructions show you how to connect both ways.

Good question. I don't have an answer since I only have one strip plugged in. My assumption is that the LED's will operate as one. There aren't any switches or buttons to seperate their function. Personally, I'd have a controller for every strip (even though it accepts 3 strips). The effects are incredible. I'm looking into a controller with many functions as my next purchase. Hope this helps your decision.

Yes, best to use a DC/DC dimmer after the power supply. Such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IYXGEEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

My understanding is that you can. They have to all plug into the power source and can not be daisy chained in a line one after the other. I want to use about five of them together and am going to try it soon. LEDwholesalers has not been very helpful answering how to get the color changing module in place so all of them will be the same color in unison. I think more than two would blow the color module but I'm not clear on that. I know you can put two together with a splitter though.

Since these are 12V LEDs, they require a separate 12V power supply and I suspect that the 12V power supply would not handle being on a dimmer circuit. There is a low cost dimmer available, see LE® RF Dimmer for Single Color LED Strips, LED Ribbon, RF Dimmer for 12V DC LED Light Strips, 8A, Wireless Remote Control for All Dimmable 3528 5050 LED Strip

Yes, you can. I've used this dimmer switch this way for years. You plug the dimmer into the wall, then a multi-plug adapter into the back of it, then both lamps into the multi-plug. I have to use extension cables to reach both lamps on either side of my bed, but the dimmer itself reaches to my night table. With this setup the dimmer controls both lamps. If you want each lamp to be controlled by its own dimmer, you'll need two dimmers.

No it cannot. These is a scene controller so it controls scenes that are run. It allows up to 4 scenes and you can also control dimming.

I do it with a splitter, but it only has one outlet and will not control them independently.

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.

You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring. I could be wrong tho :) However, the adapter is plenty powerful enough to run both your strips. I believe its made to power a little over a 16' strip of LEDs. I used one on a bookcase and it was fine. The only thing I had to do though, was cut the LED strip when I got to the corners and use a special connector you can buy on Amazon too, but I didnt have to worry about going an opposite direction like you are. I would say you'll maybe have to solder the wires or the strip together close to the outlet. You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring.

Yes. If you are talking about two different strips you'll need to make sure you have a transformer that provides enough power. If you are planning to cut one strip then you will just need to solder a pair of wires to to the cut section and run them to the transformer
