The 12V Dimmable Driver is a steady low voltage power driver perfect for supplying dimmable LED lights. Have you been searching everywhere for a way to dim your LED lights by using a household dimmer switch? Look no further. This 12V DC transformer can be used to power any of our dimmable LED lights, and allows you to install our low voltage LED light fixtures while using a common 120V magnetic low voltage dimmer.
12V Dimmable Drivers can be dimmed with a standard AC magnetic low voltage dimmer, with no external fusing required. This DC driver is designed for high voltage AC dimmer switches that are rated for use with magnetic low voltage loads or that are stated to have symmetric forward phase control. This driver is not compatible with our 12V Inline Dimmer Switch, which is a 12V DC electronic low voltage dimmer, and will not work with other switches rated for electronic low voltage power, and is not for use with incandescent dimmers that do not carry the magnetic low voltage or symmetric forward phase control ratings.
The following Lutron brand 120V dimmers are examples of switches that are compatible with our Dimmable Drivers:
- Ariadni (model #AYLV-600P, -603P)
- Diva (#DVLV-10P, -103P, -600P, -603P; DVSCLV-10P, -103P, -600P, -603P)
- Glyder (#GLV-600V)
- Maestro Wireless (#MRF2-6ND-120)
- Nova (#NLV-600, -603P, -1000, -1003P, -1500, -1503P)
- RadioRA2 (#RRD-10ND)
- Skylark (#SLV-600P, -603P)
- Skylark Contour (#CT-103P, -103PH)
- Vareo (#V-600, -1000)
Lower wattage LED installations using the 20W Dimmable Driver may require a specific model of dimmer.
This power supply has a sturdy aluminum housing, for protection against the elements. The driver comes with full instructions, safety guidelines, and wiring diagrams.

Excellence!!!!!
Both the company's support staff and their products are top notch. The dimmable drivers are working flawlessly! -
Works Great!
Have used 5 of these on various installations.
They work great! -
Flicker issues
The problem with this driver on a 120v dimmer switch is that you will get flicker below about 70%. There is no way around it other than to use a 12v dimmer switch. -
Works as advertised
Pretty straight-forward installation and usage.
Works perfectly with my LED strips

Just bought the 20w. Instructions say it must mount vertically. I was planning it undercabinet. Hidden. So it would be under a horizontal surface. Yay or nay? - John
Although we didn't design the 12V dimmable drivers, we think they specified 'vertical installation' to keep it waterproof, since the enclosure was designed for use indoors and outdoors. If it was installed horizontally outside, standing water could run in under the lip on the top of the enclosure. There shouldn't be any problem running it on its side indoors. -
Hey - would like to buy this dimmer to test with 12V LEDs. Does it work with 220V input as well? thx-Martin
These dimmable drivers are only compatible with 120V AC, not 220V. -
I would like to wire a 12V driver to a dimmable 120V wall switch, which can then be used to light and dim an overhead light strip. Where do I mount the inline dimmable driver so that its least visible? Can I mount it inside my drywall (above or below the actual 120V dimmer)? Would that pose a safety hazard?
Yes, you can mount the driver behind the wall near the dimmer. It is safe. -
I am working on three cove lighting projects that requires the following linear flexible LED light:
A. 70ft
B. 48ft
C. 36ft
I am planning to use these dimmable drivers with 120 AC.
What capacity wattage I need for each project?
Do I need power amplifiers every 16ft or can I run full lengths with the drivers only?
What kind of magnetic dimmer switch do I need for each project?
Thank you for your support, I am planning to buy all necessary hardware from your site once I understand the requirements.
Thank you,
DavidA. Requires a 200 Watt Dimmable Drive
B. Requires a 100 Watt Dimmable Drive
C. Requires a 100 Watt Dimmable Drive
(We do not recommend exceeding 80% of the Driver capacity)
Every 16 feet, you may use a power amplifier or run a new power line to the driver to light additional light segments.
The most dependable dimmer switch we recommend is the Lutron Diva Low voltage magnetic dimmer.
Thank you for your questions.

I need to power 4 seperate two foot strips of LEDs around one bathroom 12 X 14 ft. Can I use one 60 watt driver and drimmer and connect all in series?
Yes. -
can you use one EL-TMDRVR to power more than one dimmer switch to control different sets of led's
No, that particular setup would not work. You can have multiple Dimmable Drivers controlled by one 120V switch, but not multiple switches on one Dimmable Driver. Since the switch is the control mechanism, you only want one of those per driver.
The opposite would be true for our Reign 12V Dimmer Switches: multiple switches downstream of a single 12V Indoor/Outdoor Driver are okay, but you can't have more than one driver per Reign switch. (Just be sure to observe the wattage limit of 60W per switch. As long as your lights don't draw more than 60W of power per switch, you're fine.)
We'd recommend using our Reign Dimmers with either a single higher-wattage 12V Indoor/Outdoor Driver or multiple lower-wattage drivers for your installation. We offer a discounted Reign/60W Driver kit for installations like these. -
Using 18/2 wire as an extention from the LED fixture, which of your connector accessories are required to connect the wire with the driver? If it requires your EL-ANDCWP adapter, is it the male or the female one? Also, which accessories are required in order to connect 120V AC wire to the driver?
To connect 18/2 wire to the driver, you can either solder the wires together, use a Wire Nut Connector Pair SKU: EL-WRNT, or yes you can use (2) DC Wire Plugs SKU: EL-ANDCWP (One male, and one female)
To connect the 120V AC to the Driver, you can solder the wires together, or use a Wire Nut Connector Pair SKU: EL-WRNT, using this diagram to http://www.elementalled.com/images/flexible-led-strip-light-medium-driver-wiring-diagram.jpg -
Is the output from this "EL-TMDRVR 12V dimmable driver" a 12V DC 120Hz PWM signal?
Our dimmable drivers are an analog transformer-based device which approximate a 12VDC 120Hz PWM signal with duty cycle and voltage relative to the position of the TRIAC dimmer.
