CV 0/1-10V Dimmable Driver

A constant voltage 0-10V driver takes line-voltage AC power (100-240V AC) and converts it to a fixed DC output—usually 12V or 24V DC—while regulating brightness according to a 0-10V analog control signal. When the wall controller sends 10V, the driver delivers 100% output to your LED strip lights; at 1V or below, it dims down to 0.1% or cuts power entirely. Unlike standard power supplies that need an external downstream controller, this unit houses both the AC-to-DC transformer and the digital PWM dimming circuitry inside one flame-retardant V0 polycarbonate casing.

Choose an AC-DC 0-10V LED driver when you want to feed 120V or 230V mains power directly into the unit and wire straight out to your 12V or 24V LED strip lights. That eliminates a separate power supply and saves enclosure space. If you already have a large central Mean Well 24V DC supply feeding a distribution panel, a low-voltage DC-DC dimmer makes more sense because it takes DC input directly. For standalone runs in coves or retail displays, the all-in-one AC-DC driver cuts down junction points and installation labour.

Multiply the rated wattage per metre of your 24V LED strip lights by the total run length, then add a 20% safety buffer to prevent thermal stress. For instance, if you run 8 m of LED tape light drawing 9.6 W/m, total strip consumption is 76.8 W. Factoring in the 20% overhead gives 96 W, which means our 100W model is the exact match. Running drivers at 100% continuous load shortens electrolytic capacitor life and triggers thermal roll-off on hot summer afternoons.

You need a constant voltage 0-10V dimmable driver because flexible LED strip lights contain onboard current-limiting resistors and require a steady 12V or 24V rail. Feeding constant-current power into standard parallel LED tape light will overload the initial diodes and burn out the PCB traces. If your project uses series-wired architectural spotlights or downlights without onboard resistors, head over to our CC 0/1-10V drivers instead.

An AC-DC 0-10V LED driver from our Ltech range features auto-sensing signal circuitry that works seamlessly with both passive sinking controllers and active sourcing systems. Most commercial wall dimmers (like standard Lutron Diva 0-10V units) act as sinks, drawing roughly 0.1 mA to 1 mA from the driver. Automation systems like Crestron or building management controllers often source voltage. Our drivers automatically detect the control topology across the purple and grey/pink low-voltage terminals without flipping DIP switches.

Yes, our dual-channel G2 models (such as the LM-75-24-G2A2 or LM-150-24-G2A2) are built specifically to control 2-wire or 3-wire dual-white CCT LED strips. These units deliver two independently regulated constant voltage channels from a single driver. Using two 0-10V signal pairs or push-DIM inputs, one channel sets overall fixture brightness while the second regulates colour temperature balance between warm white (such as 2700K) and cool white (such as 6500K), maintaining consistent total wattage output across the blend.

No external junction box is required for dry indoor installations because these housings include integrated screwless strain relief and removable end caps. Models such as the LM-36, LM-75, and LM-100 series use V0 flame-resistant polycarbonate housings from Samsung/Covestro with clamshell terminal covers that clamp both line-voltage cables and low-voltage outputs securely. That makes them fully compliant for direct placement above drop ceilings, inside joinery, or behind display furniture without adding bulky sheet-metal enclosures.
