0 10V CONTROLLERS FOR LED LIGHTING PRODUCTS
0-10V or 1-10v dimming is an analogue lighting control protocol. It was popular in theatres and still used in some commercial premises. DIgital systems tend to be more popular but 0 10v LED controllers are still a great method of dimming LED lighting when you use a 0 10v PWM controller.
There are two types of 0 10v Controllers:
There are two types of 0 10v Controllers:
- Active 0-10v controller
- Passive 0-10v controller
An active PWM controller/dimmer sends out a 0 10v control signal or voltage between 0 & 10v. This control voltage is then sent to the 0 10v LED dimmer controller or 0-10v wall panel which changes voltage that is sent back to the 0 10v dimming controller or dimming driver. The controller will change the brightness of the LED strip depending on the return control signal voltage. The lower the voltage the dimmer the LED strip, the higher the voltage the brighter the LED strip.
A passive PWM controller has a 0 -10v control input connections which don't send out a voltage. They receive this voltage from a 0-10v controller or wall panel. Depending on what the voltage level is (between 0-10v), the 0-10v dimming controller will then change the brightness of the LED's.
0-10v is similar to a 1-10v protocol and works in the same with a 1-10v dimmer. Both 0-10v and 1-10v dimmable LED drivers require a power supply that should be the same as the voltage of the LED product you are controlling.
0-10v dimmers will control single colour, dual colour and colour changing LED products. For dual colour or colour changing you would need a 0-10v signal for each channel for smooth LED dimming.
There are a number of products that will convert protocols to 0-10v, these include:
The RF to 0-10v converter lets you control the 0-10v dimmers using a wireless handset or wall panel and the DALI to 10v converter changes a DALI signal into a 0-10v protocol used by the 0-10v dimmers.
Although 0-10v is not as popular as digital control systems it is an easy and reliable way to control your low voltage LED lighting products. We have a range of 0-10v touch-sensitive wall panels for single colour, dual colour and colour changing LED lighting.
Our PWM 0-10v dimmers and controllers are compact in size but powerful. Our single-channel dimmer will control your low voltage LED lighting products up to 10A. We also have a DIN Rail mountable version of our four-channel 0-10v dimmer.
0-10v control systems are easy to install and simple to operate, some 0-10v dimmers also have a Push Dim connection, this can be connected to a momentary push switch that will switch and dim your lighting by pressing and holding the switch to control the brightness of the LED lights.

What does 0-10V dimming mean?
0-10V Dimming is a hardwired protocol that adjusts the light output of a product by adjusting a DC voltage between 0-10V. A lighting control system provides a separate 0-10V output for each channel for control of different products within a single system.
How does a 0-10V dimmer work?
A 0-10V system communicates using an adjustable DC voltage between 0 and 10 volts. A 0-10V dimmer translates this signal and dims the attached lighting by adjusting the PWM frequency. The dimmer will match the light output from 0 - 100% proportional to the DC voltage supplied between 0-10V.
