Hey folks,
I hope someone can help me here because I've been looking all over for a couple of weeks without much luck. I'm in the process of installing Lutron Caseta switches and dimmers and I'd like to convert a dimmable LED lamp to be dimmable from the wall instead of the foot slider it came with.
This should be eyerollingly easy for most of you, and I think I have the right idea but I'd like to ask a couple of questions to make sure I don't burn down my house, and/or burn out my expensive dimmable lamp.
The lamp has a 24v wall adapter which feeds into a dimming slider that reads 5-20v 1400mah constant current. So I know that I need to find a wall dimmable LED driver that follows those specs - easy enough. My question is how much, if any, play is there in these numbers? If I find a 5-24v at the current, will I risk overvolting the LED's and killing them? I can trim the dimmer to some extent and watch the output with a meter but basically I'd like to get some input what I should be looking for. Also since I don't really know where to look, if someone can recommend a site where I can buy this I'd be greatly appreciative!
Thanks in advance!
