LED Dimmer help

[mark0933]

Thanks for the spec sheet, I missed the column that showed the 102 - 108% with dimmer not connected. 

Here is the spec sheet for the LED Unit.

I cracked open the driver case last night and although the data sheet says there should be a dial, that may be for the "interior" model, not the "exterior" one as this thing is filled with a rubberized compound to make waterproof, so no adjustment.

I believe you should be installing a 0 to 100KΩ potentiometer between the negative and positive dim leads.

Something along these lines...

Hey hey, that's exactly it. If they had made this more visible or maybe ever included it, mark would not have ripped his hair out.
