Hi All, Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a built-in wall unit that has existing 12V spotlights using a 300W transformer (see 12VTrans pic link below) that has a lot of excess capacity (only using

if you will look at the different power supplies you will see the difference. The LED lights require dc power (note the transformer says output 12vdc). teh exisiting transformer you have is marked ou

Wow, it certainly helps to have a new set of eyes look at the problem. I *ordered* a 600W DC power supply and never noticed the 12VAC on theose transformers (see what I expect to see I guess). Thank

Based on the "output" statements on the pictures you provided: The LED power supply puts out 12 volts DC, 5 watts, or about .4 amps. The spotlight transformer puts out 12 volts AC, 60 watts, or about

I am certainly not an expert on such things, but I've also been of the understanding that one way to "dim" LEDs is to pulse them - turn the electricity on an off - the more "on", the brighter they a

You are correct, that is another way to dim them - turn them on and off very rapidly and let the eye do the "total light from the device" integration over time. In its simplest form, it is all about

I guess I'm missing something here ... why is everyone convinced this won't work ? LEDs are diodes, meaning they do have a relatively fixed forward voltage drop, below which no current flows; and th

My thoughts were related to how well it would work - hence the term reliable - not that it would not light, or possibly even dim the LED strip at all.. But you are correct. Build it and see what hap

Well, except that this is a half-sine wave, with a peak value closer to 170 volts. And, as I mentioned before, the dimmers I have don't have enough phase shift in the trigger circuit to trigger the
