This 40 watt M-Series dimmable driver from HitLights is a magnetic, ETL Listed Class 2 power supply that converts 120V AC (108–132VAC, 50/60 Hz) to regulated 24V DC output for single-color 24V LED strip lights. It’s designed as a compact, USA-assembled dimmable driver for smaller under-cabinet, shelf, display, and accent lighting runs.
The driver delivers 24V DC at up to 40 watts (1.7 amps) on a Class 2 low-voltage circuit and uses a magnetic core design with auto-reset protection on both primary and secondary sides to help guard against overload and short-circuit conditions. Its 0–100% dimming range supports phase or forward MLV TRIAC dimming, making it compatible with many wall dimmers from the Lutron Ariadni, Vareo, Nova, Ceana, Diva, Gyder, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark lines and Leviton Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, and Vizia families.
A metal enclosure measuring 51 × 142 × 54 mm (2 × 5-9/16 × 2-1/8 inches) is rated NEMA 3R for dry and damp locations and intended for indoor use. Bare wire connections on both input and output sides simplify hard-wiring line, neutral, ground, and low-voltage leads in a junction box or cabinet cavity.

Unlike plug-in adapters or non-dimmable power supplies, this M-Series magnetic driver is engineered specifically for LED dimming, giving smoother, flicker-resistant control from standard wall dimmers. It is recommended for 24V LED strip lights only and is not compatible with COB or RGB strips, which require different control hardware.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What is the HitLights 40W M-Series 24V dimmable driver used for?
A: It is a 40 watt magnetic dimmable LED driver that converts 120V AC to 24V DC to power single-color 24V LED strip lights on indoor circuits. It’s intended for smaller under-cabinet, shelf, display, and accent lighting runs that require wall-dimmer control and Class 2 low-voltage power.
Q: Who should use this 24V 40W magnetic dimmable driver?
A: This driver is aimed at electricians, low-voltage contractors, lighting designers, and advanced DIY users who need a compact, USA-assembled driver for short 24V strip runs. The 40W rating suits modest-length installations where a small magnetic driver is preferred over larger enclosures.
Q: How does the M-Series driver work with wall dimmers?
A: The driver connects to 120VAC through a compatible magnetic low-voltage (MLV) TRIAC wall dimmer and outputs a dimmed 24V DC feed to the LED strips. It supports phase or forward MLV TRIAC dimming from 0–100%, and is compatible with Lutron dimmers like Ariadni, Vareo, Nova, Ceana, Diva, Gyder, Lyneo, Nova T, Skylark and Leviton dimmers like Mural, SureSlide, ToggleTouch, and Vizia.
Q: What are the key electrical and physical specifications?
A: Input is 120VAC (108–132VAC), 50/60 Hz, and output is 24V DC at up to 40 watts (1.7 amps) on a Class 2 circuit. The housing measures 51 × 142 × 54 mm (2 × 5-9/16 × 2-1/8 inches), with NEMA 3R rating for dry and damp indoor locations and auto-reset protection on primary and secondary.
Q: How does this M-Series driver compare to non-dimmable or plug-in power supplies?
A: Non-dimmable adapters are not designed for phase-cut dimming and often flicker or shut off when paired with wall dimmers. This M-Series magnetic driver is purpose-built for dimming, with 0–100% MLV TRIAC dimming, Class 2 output, auto-reset protection, and ETL listing, providing smoother, more reliable control of 24V LED strip lights.
Q: Can this driver be used outdoors or with COB and RGB strip lights?
A: The driver is NEMA 3R rated for dry and damp environments and is intended for indoor use; waterproof models are recommended for outdoor applications. It is recommended for 24V LED strip lights only and is not compatible with COB or RGB LED strips, which require different driver or controller types.
Q: How do I connect this driver to my LED strip lights?
A: Connect black to live, white to neutral, and green to ground on the input side. On the output side, connect the red wire to the positive terminal and the blue wire to the negative terminal of the 24V LED strip. All connections should be made inside an appropriate junction box or enclosure according to code.
