Doug Fleenor Design DMX12DIM-ELV 12 Channel 100W Rack Mount Dimmer

The DMX12DIM ELV is a twelve output dimmer designed for high efficacy loads, and minimal losses. This dimmer uses “reverse phase” (aka: “trailing edge”) dimming techniques and MOSFET power devices. This type of control is required for proper dimming of many LED fixtures. Each output can drive loads up to 100 Watts. Each channel may be configured for reverse phase dimming (default), forward phase dimming, or nondim operation. The dimmer is a single-space rack mount unit with removable rack ears (included). Airflow is front to side. Half inch holes are provided for half couplers or C clamps. The enclosure features a carry handle and a 3/8 inch safety cable slot.
