| Functional description | Dim using standard 120VAC Hot and Neutral wires commonly used to power lights. Brightness is controlled by switching the output on or off 60 times per second in sync with the incoming electricity to adjust how much power is delivered to the light. Standard wall switch dimmers use the same "Phase Dimming" technology as this device. | Dim low voltage direct current (DC) lights using the (+) and (-) wires commonly used to power low voltage lights. Connect 2 wire output of the power supply to the input of the dimming controller, then connect the 2 wire output of the dimming controller to the lights. Brightness is controlled by switching the output on and off 450 times per second while adjusting the ratio of ON time vs OFF time to affect how much power is delivered to the lights. | Dim 0-10V compatible lights by connecting line voltage wires to the On/Off output and low voltage wires to the 0-10V control input. Requires 4 connections from the controller to the light fixture. Brightness is adjusted by the power supply in the light fixture which responds to the 0-10V low voltage signal from the controller to set the light output at 100% when 10V is detected or at low or OFF when 0V is detected. |
| Advantages | Compatible with standard dimming compatible bulbs. Uses existing wires No new wires needed | Superior low level dimming Smoothest dimming available on the market | Eliminate low voltage wiring to control 0-10V fixtures |
| Disadvantages | Performance varies, some LED lights flicker at low levels | Additional wiring connections are needed | Dimming performance is limited by the capability of the fixture |
