Is Light Dimmer suitable for LEDs ?

[daniel128]

Hey guys!

I want to ask if my chosen light dimmer is suitable for the circuit I want to build.

I have 12 LEDs and 25 Meters of LED Strip light.

The switches on the wall will be arranged as follows, 1 light switch for 6 LEDs + 1 light switch for 6 LEDs + 1 light switch for LED Strip + Dimmer.

LEDs

LED Strip

Dimmer - 200W

The total W adds up to 347W but the Dimmer is only rated for 200W.

What do you think ?

Thank you!

Not suitable because the load exceeds the dimmer capacity

I was going to suggest using three dimmers, but the specification clearly states they are for incandescent lighting only, so unsuitable on all counts.
Be aware that matching dimmers to led lamps is a bit of a minefield.

The led strip will need a dimmable driver. As per @Geoff1946 's comments above, it can be a complete minefield finding compatible parts.

As above from others.
Zano have some guides on there site that may help you dimming led lighting.

Varilight LED dimmers all the way. You can mix and match lamps including incandescent!

Hi, firstly I’m intrigued to know how you worked out the load, 347W?

6 leds x 6W = 36W
6 leds x 6W = 36W

5 x strip Led 25 x 11w/m l
= 275W

Total 347W. Correct.

How about dual Dimmer? Light lights on one and led strip on the other.

Hi, firstly I’m intrigued to know how you worked out the load, 347W?

6 leds x 6W = 36W
6 leds x 6W = 36W

1 x strip Led lights x 33w = 33W

Total 105W, have I missed something.

the op says he has 25 meters of led strip so I’m thinking he has a few reels of LED @ 33 W per

Well spotted,
