Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
If you are dimming 120vac lights in your RV I would think it would work. If you are dimming 12vdc lights you might have a problem. Most DC dimmers change the resistance, dividing the voltage to dim the light where AC dimmers chop the AC signal to reduce the voltage.
They're the LED lights in the living room, so I assume they are DC. I just can't see spending $80+ for a single dimmer.
LED's are a different animal. Dimmers for LEDs work by pulsating the DC and provide more or less time "on" depending on how much light is desired. As mentioned, 120V AC dimmers for the house won't work, but neither will resistive 12V dimmers. A quick search of a favorite shopping site for "12V LED dimmer" yielded the following:
