Hey guys, I installed a 24V - 100W LED driver that powers about 20 feet of LED strip lighting. However, the LED lights that the driver powers are a bit too bright. I have looked online for a simple dimmer to install on my low voltage wire after the driver. But, Im confused. Which dimmer should I purchase?

Is your 24V driver dimmable? The cheap drivers aren't designed to be dimmed. many say "dimmable" and you'd put the 120V dimmer on the input side.

Ya, that's what I am confused on. I see a dimmer on Amazon that I can put on after the driver. But it only had a + and -, no output from it????

Well, I had a few folks look at the brightness of the lighting and they all liked it. BUT, I am doing under cabinet lighting next and will 100% buy a dimmable driver. Thank you!
