Which LED dimmer do I need?

Which LED dimmer do I need?

The LED lighting cannot simply be connected to every LED dimmer.
But "Which LED dimmer do I need?" You may wonder.

Based on 2 questions, I will show you which  LED dimmer you need.

Which LED dimmer you need depends on the type of LED lamps you have.
     1) Are your LED lamps dimmable ?
     2) If so, do they work on phase cutting (leading edge / RL) or phase cutting (trailing edge / RC)?
If you know the answer to this, it is the dimmer that you are looking for: Led dimmer phase cut-off or Led dimmer phase cut-off.
If you do not know the answer to this, read on or contact us.

1. Dimmable

Led lighting is not dimmable as standard. It must be clearly stated on the packaging or on the purchase receipt that the LED lamps are dimmable. Is this not the case? Then your LED lights cannot be dimmed. Is this the case? Then you work LED lamps on an LED dimmer phase cut-off or phase cut-off.

2. Phase cut-off / Phase cut-off

Phase cut-off / Phase cut-off are dimming techniques that have to work together with the dimmable driver in an LED lamp. One driver dims better on phase cut-off and the other on phase cut-off.
However, many suppliers often do not state (clearly) what their LED lights work on, making it a search for consumers.

Sometimes it is not literally 'phase cut-off' or 'phase cut-off' indicated on a lamp package, but the English translation, a synonym or type of circuit. Therefore the table below, so that you can recognize which word belongs to which dimming technique:

Other devices on the same group

Other devices on the same group If other (large) devices in the same group switch on or off, this may cause a small flash in the light of the LED lights or the lights may light up / down. This is because LED lamps are very sensitive to interference pulses from outside. A typical example is turning on an air conditioning, freezer or fridge. Leakage current Another cause of flickering LED lamps can be leakage current. A very small amount of current/voltage is lost, caused by wiring and other electrical components. Good insulation of this material can limit leakage, but it cannot always be 100% prevented. Solution: Do not connect other (large) devices to the same group as the LED lighting or place a stabilizer for the group of LED lamps. Is this not possible? Then buy LED lamps and an LED dimmer with a good power filter. All our LED lamps and LED dimmers are equipped with a VDR, which absorbs peak voltages. The LED TLs Pro and LED panels Pro are provided with extra protection, so ...

First aid with flashing LED lights

 First aid with flashing LED lights Blinking, flickering, harder / softer burning, a short flash. All kinds of problems with flashing LED lights. Here you will find the 7 possible causes and solutions! Causes of flashing LED lamps    1. LED lamp is not dimmable    2. LED lamp is connected to incandescent or halogen dimmer    3. LED lamp is connected to the wrong type of LED dimmer    4. LED dimmer settings    5. LED lamp (low voltage) is connected to the wrong transformer    6. Fluctuations in the network    7. Defective driver 1. LED lamp is not dimmable When you set non-dimmable LED lamps to a dim position with a dimmer, the lamps do not receive enough power to cause them to flash. This can give a strobe effect. Solution: If you want to dim LED, you must connect dimmable LED lamps to an LED dimmer. Do you not necessarily have to dim? Then you can connect an LED light to a normal on / of...
