Perfect dimmer for strip LED lights, February 25, 2013
By 
Beanhall (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I used this dimmer for my under the cabinet LED strip lighting. I removed the four screws from the top of the dimmer and soldered a 5' wire to the to the metal touch surface within the dimmer. I then attached the other end of the wire to a screw on a convenient hinge on my cabinets. This allows me to control the lights by touching the hinge and hide the dimmer and 12 volt transformer on the top of my cabinet.

The dimmer works really well. Quickly touching the hinge fades the lights to full brightness. Quickly touching again will fade the lights off. Touching and holding the hinge will fade up and down allowing me to stop at any brightness level. The dimmer will remember the last brightness setting. If I touch the hinge quickly when the lights are set a 50% brightness, the next time I quickly touch the hinge the lights fade in to 50% brightness. On the lowest setting for brightness the LED's barely glow. At this brightness or any other the LED's run perfect. No flicking from the lights and no humming from the transformer.

I would not recommend using this dimmer on a switchable outlet. When power is removed from dimmer it forgets the last brightness setting. Basically when you turn on the switch you would then have to touch the dimmer to turn on the lights. I guess if you left the switch on all the time and only controlled the lights from the dimmer it would work ok.

Great dimmer, January 26, 2013
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great dimmer that works just as described. I like being able to set any level of light between off and full blast. Very cool!

There is one small catch with my specific use case. I wired my dimmer to a wall outlet timer for some bookshelf accent lights. The power comes on at night and off in the morning. The only flaw with this dimmer is that once it loses power it forgets the light level that was set and defaults to off. So I'll have to either bypass the dimmer or outlet timer and leave the lights on all the time. Not a huge issue and I can't really hold it against the dimmer too much. Just wanted to post this so others are aware in case someone is looking for a similar setup.

Great For Dimming and Brightening Led Aquarium Lights!, May 10, 2014
By 
D. Kane (BETHPAGE, NEW YORK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
  

I have a 29 gallon Tetra aquarium that came with regular white led strip lights under the hood. As all fish need a day and night cycle, in the evening I had to keep the lights off. However, I could not see my fish because without the led lights, my aquarium is pitch black inside.

I searched for a special night light to give my aquarium a subtle moonlit glow, but they were expensive and did not come with a dimmer. I had economy in mind and I wanted there to be just enough light in order to see my fish without overwhelming them with night time lights that are way too bright.

I purchased three of these dimmer switches and here is how I use them:

I have two separate sets of blue led lights. Each came with an ac adapter transformer wall plug and one set of white led daylight strip lights also came with a wall plug ac adapter/transformer. These dimmer switch plugs fit perfectly into both ends of each separate standard led strip light set. I can lower or brighten the brightness of the white and blue led lights by turning the dial left or right. The dimmers also have a handy on and off switch. When on highest setting the lights in the tank are nice and bright. When on lowest setting the lights are very subtle.

The 2 sets of blue led lights came from two of my 5 gallon tetra glofish tanks that I am no longer using. I took the lights off of my glofish tanks and glue gunned them underneath the hood of my 29 gallon tank. I plugged a dimmer switch into each set of led lights which was completely compatible. Now in the evenings, I turn on the blue led lights, and dim or brighten them to the perfect amount of light needed to help see my fish. I can now manually adjust the exact intensity of brightness to give my tank the affect of a moonlit evening.

The led strip lights can be purchased here on Amazon with or without the ac adapter wall plug. Amazon also sells a 3 way splitter so that you can plug up to 3 sets of led lights into one ac adapter wall plug.

These dimmers are highly recommended and are very good quality. They saved me a lot of money and made my aquarium hobby much more exciting and enjoyable to look at!

Excellent product, a little misleading, November 26, 2012

This review is from: HitLights Warm White SMD3528 LED Light Strip - 300 LEDs, 16.4 Ft Roll, Cut to length - 3000K, 82 Lumens / 1.5 Watts per foot, Requires 12V DC (Electronics)
I got a few of these to do a cabinet lighting project after being totally appalled by the cost of standard LED fixtures. I was a little skeptical since it seems like most of the reviews here on Amazon were posted by employees of the company... Turns out these really are a GREAT product, and pretty easy to use if you're willing to put a little work into it. A few helpful things to note:

* The strip comes with a female DC plug on one end, but you'll need the 12 volt DC transformer to actually plug it in to an outlet. ([...])

* They are really bright for an accent light, so I would also recommend the dimmer ([...] The strip, transformer and dimmer are available in a package here: [...]

* Unless you plan to use a solid 16' strip, you'll need to cut it down and use these PCB Strip Connectors to daisy-chain separate strips ([...] I also used these to splice in extension wires to route around appliances and other cabinet pieces that didn't need to be lighted.

* The LEDs are warm white as promised, but the light has a slightly acidic yellow quality compared to standard incandescent or halogen light. I think they look great, but might be helpful to know going in.

Overall these are a fantastic, cost-effective lighting option. They're pretty easy to figure out, but it's not a total breeze as some reviews indicate. Make sure you're comfortable doing some minor low-voltage electrical work, have electrical tape and wire strippers handy, and plan some extra time to play with the parts and figure everything out before installing (my cabinet job took about 3 hours all in).

4 stars just for the lack of instructions and the extra effort needed to figure this whole system out. Good luck!

Full Review on Four Products., March 14, 2012
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am an owner of a lighting and lamp shop. I purchased many reels of LED strip to do a small test. Everyone knows that LED will be the next generation of the lighting but LED is more complicate than the halogen light. So people sometimes feel difficult to find out the right LEDs, especially online. Home Depot carries all kinds of LED lamp but none of the LED strip. So I hope my review will be helpful for all of you on Amazon.

The strips I compared are the most basic products: cool white and warm white, waterproof and non-waterproof. All the LED strips came in different quality and brightness. I am satisfied with five of the strips. These five strip have high lumen, good color and 3M tape is good. So I recommend them:

HitLights LED Flexible Lighting Strip Cool White or Bright White, 5 Meter or 16 Ft, 3528 Type, 300 SMD, 24 Watt
This cool white LED has the highest brightness and the color is about 6000K which will be very closed to the tube. I think this one should be enough for most of the people. Also, the best part is the price is very reasonable and even cheaper than some low quality strip. So I highly recommend this one.

16.4 Feet 300 SMD LED Flexible Strip with Waterproof Sleeve,12 Volt Clear White LED Ribbon 5 Meter Reel,3528CW By CBconept
This strip have a good rubber sleeve protect the strip and the color is around 6000K too. But since it doesn't have the 3M tape. So be careful. If you really need the waterproof cool white strip, this is your option.

5 Meter Reel Warm White 3100k Flexible LED Ribbon 300 Leds 16 Ft by LEDwholesalers, 2026ww-31k
This strip have a neutral color, around 3000K to 3500K which is between cool white and warm white. The color is special and I believe some one will need that. The 3M tape is great and stick the strip really well.

HitLights LED Flexible Lighting Strip Warm White, 5 Meter or 16 Ft, 3528 Type, 300 SMD, 24 Watt
This one have a better price and warmer color. It is from hitlights so the quality is the same as the first one I just mentioned before.

HitLights Waterproof LED Flexible Warm White Lighting Strip, 3528 Type, 300 LED, 5 Meter or 16 Ft, 24 Watt, 12 Volt
This is the only warm white LED strip I found on Amazon. The quality is good and the LED is bright. Good choice for the people who need warm white LED strip in outdoor use.

Finally, I realized that hitlights and led wholesaler are the top two quality on Amazon. I also found both of them have more LED products in other vendors. In other word, they are more professional in LED. Obviously, led wholesaler has even more products but higher price while hitlights only has the popular led products and the price is more reasonable. I will say both of them are good LED sellers.

Power supply suggestion from Amazon, July 25, 2012
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There are plenty of reviews already about how nice these lights are. They really are cool. I ordered one of the normal blue rope lights but it had a section of the lights that didn't work so I returned it and got this. The difference in the saturation of the blue color is amazing.

I ordered the "Kinamax AD-LCD12 LCD Monitors 12V 6A 72W AC Adapter Power Supply" from Amazon as well for about ten bucks. I figured it would provide plenty of power for these lights and I'd just solder the leads together. To my surprise the plug on the adapter is a near perfect match to the plug on the light strip.

Just plug it in and go. No wire stripping needed.

Hope this helps somebody else out.
