I have a new LED chandelier that requires 0-10v dimmable control.

How can I connect this chandelier to an existing line and dim it?

0 to 10 volt dimming is separate from line voltage that you have. You would need to add wiring to your setup.

 

[seharper]

You don't.

0-10V dimming requires an auxiliary low-voltage control line. That will have to be wired into the wall by someone competent in that dimmer type using the wiring methods proscribed for that system (not real familiar with it myself).

 

[Andrew_P]

I think I've found a solution

What do you think about this kit?

It says that with this kit I can connect 0-10v dimmed lighting to an existing line and control a regular dimmer switch

Sounds like this will work. It probably replaces the fixture's own power supply. Do you see it's own ?

 

[Andrew_P]

No, this does not replace the lamp's power supply. This is connected in a line between the switch and the lamp. I want to use it.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. You found something, and it's RU-Recognized, meaning UL blesses the use of the module as a component of a lamp. So officially, you are modifying your lamp! You know you will also need to add a RU-Recognized 12V power supply of small size (since it only powers the adapter), but it sounds like you can handle that.

Why would I add another power supply?

 

[seharper]

Because the instructions for the module require it. The module doesn't intake 120V. It intakes 12V. Note the video.

The power supply is included

Oh. I assumed that was the backside of the same unit...... and thus I was OK with it because of the RU Recognized stamp.

Now I realize RU only applies to the power supply, not the module. The module is some slapdash hack job done by some random Amazon seller. Not good. Well, on the upside, the module operates entirely in the low-voltage domain, so it probably can't get in *too* much trouble. Hopefully.

I got it, but I didn't even check it. It looks too unreliable.. sent back to the Amazon seller
