Non-dimmable LED drivers

A non-dimmable LED driver cannot be directly used with dimmers such as 0–10V, TRIAC, DALI, or other AC-side dimming systems, as it does not support dimming signals.
However, you can still adjust brightness on the low-voltage (DC) side by adding an inline LED controller or dimmer between the driver and the LED strip. In this setup:
1. The non-dimmable driver works only as a stable DC power supply;
2. The inline controller handles brightness adjustment or lighting control.
This is a common solution for LED strip lighting systems when you want flexibility without replacing the power supply.

Dimmable LED drivers are usually clearly labeled and designed with specific dimming features. You can identify a dimmable driver by checking:
• Product specifications or labels that mention “dimmable”;
• Supported dimming protocols such as TRIAC, 0–10V, DALI, or PWM;
• Presence of dedicated dimming input terminals (e.g., 0–10V ports, DALI bus terminals).
If none of these features are indicated, the driver is most likely non-dimmable.

It depends on your lighting control requirements.
1. **AC-Side Control:** If you have a wall dimmer (TRIAC, 0–10V) and want to control brightness directly from it, you **must** choose a compatible dimmable LED driver.
2. **DC-Side Control:** If you plan to use an LED controller (RF, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.) on the low-voltage side, a **non-dimmable driver is sufficient**, as the controller will handle the dimming.
Choosing the right dimming type depends on whether you want to control lighting from the power source level or the controller level.
