Recommend an LED lighting dimmer

Post by Bubble Meister »

Which Dimmer should I go for? I believe Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) type is the way forward.

It'll be for 4 x 1.8W led spot lights that are powered directly off the leisure battery.

Seen this on ebay:151374714971
What about this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/tinxi%C2%AE-Dim ... B00G7AGKII" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Some PWM dimmers are big n pricey yet the eBay one is tiny. What makes the difference in size n price if they're all PWM?

Cheers,
BM

Any one. I'm tempted to buy the couple of quid dimmer but don't want to spunk my money on rubbish.

Ok thank you. I'd be interested to see how you get on with it and if there's any flickering.

I've been using the same ones as Lloydy for a year or so now and report no problems. Does the job perfectly. And cheap. Ps no flickering.
