Category 05 / Controls
A 0-10V LED dimmer and a tunable-white set, each checked against the driver before it ships.
Two controls for 24 V strip. The ZV-M010 is a 0-10V LED dimmer module that sits inline between driver and strip and takes a standard 0-10V wall control. The ZV-TW set moves two-channel strip from warm to cool from a wall remote. Both are sold by inquiry from Austin, shipped across the United States, and quoted in USD on the same load sheet as the driver they work with.

ZV-M010
0-10V LED dimmer module, inline
A small black module with two sets of wires. Red and black in from the driver, red and black out to the strip, and a purple and grey pair for the 0-10V control line back to the wall. The driver stays a plain constant-voltage unit. The module does the dimming on the 24 V side.
This is the control electricians ask for on commercial fit-outs and in houses that already have 0-10V wall controls elsewhere. It pairs with the ZV-D100 enclosed driver. Two things go wrong with 0-10V, and both are wiring: the purple and grey pair gets run in the same bundle as line voltage and picks up noise, or someone swaps purple and grey and the light sits at full or at off. Run the control pair on its own and check it before you close the box.
We do not sell the 0-10V wall control itself. Use the one your electrician already fits. If you tell us the make on the inquiry, we note it on the sheet.

ZV-TW
Tunable-white set with wall remote
A controller that sits after the driver and a slim wall remote that talks to it. The controller splits the 24 V output across the warm and cool channels of a two-channel strip, so one line of light goes from amber in the evening to a cooler white for cooking or work.
It only works with two-channel tunable strip, which carries three conductors instead of two. Single-colour strip, including all three strips on our LED strip page, will not change colour on this controller. Tell us the tunable strip you intend to run and we check it against the set before quoting. If it does not match, we say so and do not ship the set.

Which control goes with which driver
Most dimming complaints are two dimmers fighting over one run. Pick one method per driver and stop there.
| Control | ZV-D100, 100 W enclosed | ZV-D150P, 150 W phase-dim | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZV-M010 0-10V module | Yes | No | The phase-dim driver already dims. Adding a module downstream gives two dimmers on one run. |
| ZV-TW tunable-white set | Yes | No | Leave the wall dimmer out of the circuit. The remote does the dimming. |
| Compatible phase wall dimmer | No | Yes | Dims the ZV-D150P on the line side. Ask us before buying the wall dimmer. |
| Plain switch | Yes | Yes | On and off only. |
The controls do not change driver sizing. A dimmed run at 30 % still has to start at 100 %, so the driver is sized for the full load at 80 % of its rating, same as any other run. A 6 m run of 14.4 W/m strip is 86.4 W. That needs more than 80 W, so it goes on the 150 W driver or splits over two 100 W units.
Low-end flicker on a dimmed run is usually the driver, not the control. A driver running near its full rating in a closed cabinet gets unstable at the bottom of the range. That is one more reason nothing on our sheets goes past 80 %. The calculator shows the driver size for your run.

Before you buy a dimmer
Can I use any wall dimmer I already have?
Only on the right driver. A standard phase wall dimmer on a non-dimmable driver will buzz and flicker, and it cuts the driver's life short. If the wall dimmer stays, the run goes on the ZV-D150P and you check the dimmer with us first.
Does tunable white work on your COB strip?
No. Our COB and SMD strips are single colour. Tunable white needs two-channel strip. Tell us which one and we check it against the ZV-TW set.
Who are these controls not for?
People wanting colour-changing RGB effects. We do not stock RGB strip or RGB controllers. Also anyone expecting app or voice control out of the box: these are wall controls.
Ordering a complete run instead? The kits come with driver and leads already matched.
