dblack Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I was planning to make 4 mini trees for use in channels 13-16 on my AC controller. I wanted to go for the spiral look so I was planning to use green LED rope light. I have found several that say dimmable, but I’ve told I’d need to add a dimmer. https://www.christmaslightsetc.com/p/2-Wire-Green-LED-Rope-Light-120-Volt-18-ft-62008.htm Is the LOR AC controller serving as my dimmer in this case or is there something separate I’m supposed to buy to use an LED rope light?

TheDucks Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The plug (pigtail) has the fuse/rectifier from what I can see. So that is needed. I don't see dimable mentioned (nor non) Just be aware with most 120V LED strings, these can not be cut. On those others: do they say you MUST use their dimmers? Do they specify dimming method (LOR AC uses PWM)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others, like these: https://thechristmaslightemporium.com/products/rope-light-green-1-2-led-150-spool?variant=36236217484#p_description say they are dimmable for use with computer light shows, so I just wasn’t sure exactly what I need (if anything) if I want to use LED rope light.

dgander Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I bought several dimmable rope lights this year and they dimmed directly from the controller perfectly. When I get home I can see where I got them and send you a link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
