How to Wire a Dimmer to your LED LightsIn this tutorial learn how to hook up a PWM Dimmer to your single channel LED Strip Lights and Modules. If you want to have a way to dim your LED lights we have many different types of low voltage PWM dimmers to choose from....
In the image above with the splice in the cable, the module will measure the current flowing to all devices plugged into the power strip. Figure 4: For module measurement using a CT, the load wire (black in the US), is passed through the opening of the CT either via a split core ...
Step 4.Use wire cutters to cut one end off the USB cable. Ensure you cut the USB end of the flash drive cable to an adapter. Step 5.Strip away a section of the USB cable's wire. Try to expose about 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) of each of the four wires inside the cable attached to th...

If you’re planning on using multiple strips or cutting LEDs into smaller strips, you can generally wire them to the same power source. The 12V lights are fit well in most locations and use less power. However, the 24V variety shines brighter and comes in longer lengths. ...
Step 3: Preparing the Strip-to-Power ConnectionTo attach the first section of lights into the dimmer and power supply, we need to add some length of low voltage extension wire to the end of the first run of LED lights. Once the low voltage wire is cut to length, strip an inch of ...
