WHAT STANDS OUT:
  • Slim profile: Long, low-profile housing tucks easily into cabinets, coves, and tight junction spaces, reducing layout headaches for electricians and cabinet builders.
  • Smooth dimming: Delivers stable, flicker-free dimming with many common wall dimmers, ideal for kitchens, display cases, and accent lighting.
  • Sized right for small runs: 36 watt output is well-matched to short to medium 12V strip runs, avoiding the bulk and cost of oversized power supplies.
PRODUCT DETAILS:

Engineered by HitLights for residential and commercial projects, this slim series electronic driver delivers smooth, flicker-free dimming when paired with a standard in-wall dimmer. It is ideal for under-cabinet lighting, coves, shelves, display cases, and other low-voltage accent lighting installations.

  • 12V DC, 36W (3A) output for single-color LED strip lights
  • Full-range 0–100% dimming with compatible wall dimmers
  • Slim linear housing to fit in tight spaces and enclosures
  • UL Listed Class 2 and FCC compliant for safety and reliability

The driver accepts 120 VAC input (108–132 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and converts it to a regulated 12V DC output up to 36 watts for LED strip loads. Integrated protection against short circuit, over-voltage, and thermal runaway supports long-term reliability in demanding installations.

Unlike non-dimmable plug-in adapters, this unit is hard-wired and compatible with many forward-phase and reverse-phase dimmers, including popular models from Lutron and Leviton, allowing lighting control from a standard wall location.

The slim enclosure (approx. 10.35 x 1.26 x 0.87 in, IP20) fits easily in cabinets, junction spaces, and other dry interior locations. With a power factor around 0.96, efficiency ≥80%, and a working temperature range from roughly -40°C to +60°C, it is suitable for a wide range of indoor environments.

A 6-year warranty provides additional peace of mind for integrators, contractors, and homeowners planning long-life LED installations.

Designed for single-color 12V LED strips, this driver is an appropriate choice when a compact, dimmable, UL Listed Class 2 power solution is required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What is this 12V 36W slim dimmable LED driver used for?
A: It is a 12V DC, 36W electronic Class 2 driver designed to power and dim single-color LED strip lights in indoor installations. Common applications include under-cabinet lighting, cove lighting, shelving, and accent lighting where wall dimmer control is desired.

Q: Who is this 36W dimmable driver best suited for?
A: This driver suits electricians, contractors, cabinet builders, and homeowners who need a compact, hard-wired dimmable power supply for 12V strips. It is appropriate for both small commercial projects and residential remodels where reliable, low-voltage LED power is required.

Q: How does the driver dim, and which wall dimmers are compatible?
A: The driver uses electronic circuitry that supports 0–100% dimming with compatible forward-phase, reverse-phase, Triac, MLV, and ELV dimmers. It is designed to work with many models from brands such as Lutron and Leviton, so installers can match the dimmer style to the space.

Q: What are the main electrical and physical specifications?
A: Input is 120 VAC (approx. 108–132 VAC, 50/60 Hz) with a power factor around 0.96 and efficiency of at least 80% at full load. Output is regulated 12V DC up to 36W (3A). The slim enclosure is roughly 10.35 x 1.26 x 0.87 inches, IP20 rated for dry indoor use.

Q: Can this driver be used outdoors or with RGB LED strips?
A: No. The driver carries an IP20 rating and is intended only for dry, indoor locations. It is also designed for single-color 12V LED strips, not RGB or multi-channel strips, which require a compatible RGB controller between the driver and the LEDs.

Q: What protections and certifications does this driver have?
A: The driver includes protection against short circuit, over-voltage, and thermal issues to help protect connected LED loads. It is UL Listed as a Class 2 power unit and is also FCC compliant, supporting both safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Excellent customer support

We purchased four of these back in '20 for our kitchen remodel. They worked flawlessly with our Lutron dimmers and a month or so ago one started to fail with intermittent dimming not caused by the dimmer. Hitlights support was easy to access and they sent us a replacement under warranty.
