Using a Dimmable Driver (Skip to “Finishing Up” for Constant Current Drivers)

Wiring the Driver Dimmer Wires

There are 4 output wires on a dimmable driver as in the above photo. The dimming wires, DIM

+ (blue), and DIM – (white), simply hook up to the respective ports on your controller or dimmer.

Dimmable drivers must have the dimmer wires hooked up to a controller or dimmer or the LEDs will not

light up. No dimming signal = 0% brightness.

If you do not have a dimming circuit or controller, you can test by applying a voltage to the

Dimmer + and Dimmer – wires on the driver. This voltage can range from 1-10V. Do NOT exceed 10V or

you risk damaging the dimming circuitry. A 1V reference voltage will light the LEDs to 10% brightness,

whereas a 10V reference voltage will light the LEDs to 100% brightness. You likely have something

around your house that can supply a reference voltage. A “wall wart,” 9V battery, or even a AA battery

can be used for testing. Be sure to test the actual output voltage of your wall wart with a multimeter

before use – unregulated wall warts will output much greater than the output voltage on the label when

used with small loads.

Adjusting Driver Current – Do this before applying power to non XP-G LEDs
