Accepted Answer

Question 2

does work with lcd panel light

Accepted Answer

The short answer is "No". I have been in contact with my LED light fixture manufacturer technical support, Metalux, regarding my 4CWPLD4040C LED strip light and Leviton technical support about this particular dimmer switch. They both have been semi-helpful but the answer is always to contact the manufacturer of the other part. If I call Metalux they refer me to Leviton and if I call Leviton they refer me to Metalux to answer my questions. This is what I know so far. My Metalux LED fixture is advertised as dimmable. It has a ballast with a 0-10V driver that according to the instruction manual, one can connect "the positive lead from the dimmer with the positive lead (violet) connected to the dimming port (DIM +) of the driver following wire connector manufacturing instructions." And a similar set of instructions for the negative lead (gray) and the (DIM-) dimming port. When I connect my Leviton switch in this way, the LED strip light does go "on" and "off" but is always dim when "on" and the slide switch does nothing. When I talked to Leviton technical support about the dimmer switch, it was explained to me that LED dimmer switches are either "sourcing" switches or "sinking" switches. He stated that this particular Leviton switch is a "sinking" switch. I contacted Metalux technical support again and asked them whether the Metalux fixture required a "sinking" or a "sourcing" dimmer. They sent me a chart indicating that this Leviton dimmer is supposed to work with this Metalux fixture. They did not answer me directly whether it required a "sourcing" or "sinking" switch. This switch does not work for me. The next test I am going to do is measure the voltage across the gray and violet wires at the fixture and verify that the fixture ballast is supplying 10 V. The fixture is at my beach house and not readily available for me to test until this weekend or I would put that information in this post. Almost regardless of what I measure, I will return the Leviton switch because it does not work for me. Maybe, I just received a defective switch. As an aside, in the Leviton instruction manual, in all four wiring diagrams they show the gray wire morphing in to the violet wire and vice versa. The Leviton technical support person assured me that was a diagramatic error and violet stays connected to violet and gray stays connected to gray. Isn't it odd a manufacturer of an electronic component would make such an error four times in one 4 page instruction sheet? Hope this helps you.
