Quick question, finally hooked up my led's today to the dimmer. What would cause the lights to blink on and off? They're blinking at about a 1 second interval.
The driver is a no-name Chinese 100w driving two 100w led's. The pre-installed pot manually dimmed them fine.
Thanks!

Re: PWM dimming
That's what I was thinking, but wanted to make sure there wasn't any simple/ common problem that would have caused this (other than it being an analog signal). No biggie though, just running them on a time schedule until I come across some new drivers. Thanks!

Re: PWM dimming
Im interested in how you plan on hooking up the leds to a different driver. I plan on hooking up a dimmable analog driver to my leds

Re: PWM dimming
I scrapped the project for the time being. I have a Steve's LEDs retrofit kit on the way right now. With the amount of coral in my tank, I don't want to continue taking risks with sketchy LEDs.

The pot that is installed means there is a very good chance they are analog.Winschuc wrote:Quick question, finally hooked up my led's today to the dimmer. What would cause the lights to blink on and off? They're blinking at about a 1 second interval.
