Thank you for taking the time to explain the dimmer wires. Could not figure what these wires were for on my led panel. Will just cap them off as I will not need them.

[@patmcbride9957]

Great video Miko , Very easy to understand and very comprehensive step by step guidance

[@brianleger8953]

Basically you have a nice demonstration here. But for safety sake when you tested to see if the cable was live you had your meter on volts DC which could not test for AC voltage. Just do not want someone to copy you and get a shock thinking there was no power when there actually is.

[@DixonMasterElectric]

They make MC cable 12/2 with the purple and grey 0 to 10 volt all in one cable.

[@Sean-hennessey]

the first part of the video is very clear. after 10:08 all the wiring takes place behind his hands and I can't really see whats what. does anyone have a video that shows this part?

[@EstarDeBuenaSiempre]

I’m looking for the same

[@rubenpalma3828]

some of these panels are 270v, check your breaker to make sure its 150v or 227v and make sure your dimmer matches the voltage of your panel and breaker. sometimes these 227v dimmers are hard to find

[@DBLOCKDBLOCK-uf3yy]

Thank u thank u thank u SOOOOOO MUCH !!!! For this video .. and also for being very clear

[@kathrynwood9642]

very well done, thank you, I've watch a bunch and yours is most understandable.

[@MoonLight-vk3ej]

Thanx for this great video but if we go to connect more than one lightings on the same swith will we make looping wire from drive to another or from lighting to another ..please help me

[@Twobeers1]

I just got a 2'x2' dimmable light panel. I want to hang this over my desk for when I need light for working on electronic things. Not wanting to spend the money on one of those 0-10v dimmer controls & the fact that I live in a apartment that has crappy aluminum wiring I just want to stick a cord with a plug on it. I decided to try the dimming function with my old trusty RTMA resistance box. This is what I discovered. Full brightness at 10K ohms & stepping down, down, down to 220 ohms it shuts off. So in actuality one can install a 10K ohm potentiometer with a 220 ohm resistor in series between the + - dim terminals to control the brightness. And BTW what is coming out of the electrical box on the back feeding into the LED panel is 35vdc. The unit I am playing with is a NEOX 5000K 27W panel if your interested in knowing that. I am will not spit out all that code shit at you but to say this, the code states that any single conductor in a circuit shall be capable of handiling the amperage of which said circuit it is connected to. This is safety thing so if things go bad & something short circuits that the conductors will be capable of blowing the fuse or circuit breaker before going up in flames. 15amp circuit 14awg, 20amp circuit 12awg, of course length of said wiring from the fuse/breaker panel also figures into the equation.

Two Beers just use 12 and when in doubt, ise 10

[@jboogie1881]

What happens if your wires from the ceiling don’t have a ground it’s just a white and a black

[@TheRickAustin]

This is great info - thanks for sharing!. If I have two fixtures and one switch - is it recommended to run one pair of wires from each fixture to the switch or can they be daisy chained (one light to next light then to switch)?

[@panoramix3192]

I'm wondering the same as I have 4 total.

[@7628739]

You can also use cat 5 wire you can do just about anything 18 gauge or higher

[@AlanTegtmeyer]

How many lights can one dimmer control?

[@bkkidsnyc]

are there any 0-10v dimmer that has Wifi support Amazon Alexa?

[@andriabaunee]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@Feldspar__]

Great explanation.

[@kyleli6658]

So when u wiring a low voltage dimmer, there will be 2 different voltage in 1box? Is it allowed to do that?

[@LuisGutierrez-fg7sp]

Thank you! this helped, also for those who are mounting to a bedroom use a 2x2 ft ceiling frame kit, also 0 volts is 0 volts does not matter if its AC or DC thank you.

[@miltonnegron65]

Excellent video

[@DaveMcCammon]

Great video thankyou

[@devotedanaheim1575]

@miko suo had a question what if my led panel has a green ground wire coming out of it ?

[@711sullivan8]

Bro, you were on VOLTS DC when checking for line power

[@johnnygallardo76]

mine has a loose connection when i tap on the light it tries to flicker back on eventually tapping it enough or wiggling the wiring it comes back on. All the wiring is in really good im not sure why this is happening??

[@tmmyjay]

Just to clarify, do you run the doorbell wire without conduit? Can I assume that it's leaving the switch in low voltage form...

[@Bertminator]

So my current dimmer switch was already connected by an electrician to an existing ceiling light (pot light). I'm replacing the pot light with this LED panel light. At the junction I have only the black, white & ground wires (as the dimmer that controls my current LED pot light is on the wall . So, how do I connect that to make it dim? Can I just connect the purple to the black and the white to the grey wire directly? OR do I connect the fixture's purple & black together & connect that to my one black wire, and the fixtures white & grey together & connect that to my one white wire?

[@WCGroen1]

I have the same question

[@dez5]

play at 2x then read the manual. LOL

[@printworksmedia6591]

What if you want to connect a power cable to connect to outlet?

[@marks4374]

There is a strip gauge on the driver label for a reason.

[@edwardharvey1954]

Great video!!!! For a change someone shows the hookup at end to end. Thanks!!!!

[@bryancardoza6070]

Do all lights need to be wired with the 10v if they are Daisy chained? So one switch 8 lights. All need to have the grey/purple wiring done?

[@brianpschirrer6913]

Bryan Cardoza yes

[@fjdiesi]

So if you are daisy chaining 4 LED light fixtures, Do you daisychain load to load, common to common, grey to grey, purple to purple between each light fixture? And then of course down to your dimmer switch. Will that 0-10V dimmer work all four fixtures? Thank You!

[@marks4374]

Why would he test ac with the meter set to dc?

[@marcelkh3211]

How many led should i have per square?

[@williameisenberg1999]

Thanks for the video

[@johnjjrjr]

Will this work the same with a 2x4 panel? will it still run on a 120V system?

[@mikozou9168]

Yes, same with 2x4

[@mazamin]

If we want to run it with dimmer option, do we still need the wiring explained in the first half of the video, which was without dimmer? In other words, doesn’t the wiring of the dimmer also power the LED ? If the answer is no, seems like we should have two sets of wiring for it from the wall.

[@bretassmus7502]

I agree how the video is a bit confusing. If the power supply starts at the switch and only white/black wires are feeding all the light panels.....then why not just jump the violet and gray wires to the white/black terminals at the led panels and wire the dimmer switch as illustrated via the switch location where the hot input begins??

[@WCGroen1]

I found that confusing to. It looks like you need a separate feed to the light in the ceiling.

[@WCGroen1]

I'm confused too.

[@shawnpitchford777]

What sucks I guess is that you have to install dimmers as house is built because after the fact you will have to destroy the wall and run new wires?

[@user-xi8jq3cv9m]

I can't open the link. What brand is this light fixture?

[@mattgewiss8448]

Thank you.

[@lucyjazznyc]

HOW CAN I HOOK UP AN ARMORED CABLE LIKE THAT TO A PLUG? ANYONE?

[@kekstrgeocacherunicyclist3358]

I'm surprised that you are allowed to have 120 VAC and Low Voltage in the same electrical housing ???

[@Cinnamoroll77099]

Amigos una pregunta tiene que tener un caliente siempre 24 horas

[@Islandsurf808]

I think you have your meter on a DC setting, you should remind your audience to make sure to set your meter on the correct AC voltage setting, because a DC setting won't give you a AC voltage reading. (ZAP) Otherwise a good informative video.

[@bisurdaddy]

You know you checked for live wires with your multimeter set to DC volts, don't you?

[@123jmbjmb]

Is it safe to wire led lights to a cord with plug?

[@YXW-Judy]

🎉

[@mikeomax8101]

is it a true that this LED panels will work with incandescent dimmers?

[@vista806]

No.

[@robertgardner1498]

@@vista806 Unless you're going for the disco effect.

[@rangermiller9969]

Ain't going anywhere! Nice

[@longhair1016]

I'm not an electriction, good demonstration,but you should get rid of the music,hard to hear your voice.

[@homeguestunton]

I like LED lights.

[@EstarDeBuenaSiempre]

Why you did went so fast when contacting the dimmer and didn’t explain slowly 😢

[@Zagroseckt]

This video needs to be removed and redone. Sorry but your two nervous you should of reshot until you were comfortable. The video left me with a nervous feeling. Almost a great video just relax. the camera isnt going to eat you.

[@kammykwok2888]

🙏❤️🙏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏👏👏👏

[@urickgonzalez3808]

I understand you want to show people to be safe but if you're trying to advice people to check for voltages with a multimeter, show it in the appropriate setting. When you were checking for AC power, you had the meter set to read DC.

[@justinhobart8747]

I have a real curiosity question, with no liabilities to whoever answers this. I'm assuming since this is running 110 volts into the lights, that the box is basically a transformer, that is dropping the voltage. So my question is if it's dropping the voltage down to around that 10 Volt range that the dimmer switch is rated for, is there a way to run this panel off of a battery? Such as a car battery?

[@vincentweisenberg2683]

No. The 0 to 10v is for dimming. The light still needs 120 volts to operate.

[@dlalfrey1955]

To add to what Vincent said, a 12V car battery is DC voltage. These panels are AC voltage. They would work off a car battery if you have an inverter to operate AC items.

[@johnnysalinas7082]

usually the internal LEDs have some kind of resistance which will let the LED turn on at certain voltage like 45-65V, (some not common voltage) even if you remove the driver and try to plug a 12V DC battery directly to the panel lights, this LEDs might not work. Thats why manufactures put their on drivers in there with the right amount of voltage to turn this panels on.

[@illumadynesmtproduction9472]

So, the LED's run on DC voltage, the box on the back of the light is called a driver. this driver supplies a DC voltage to the LED bar inside of the fixture. Depending on the circuit design of the LED bar, the voltage can be anywhere fro 22V to 50V. the 0-10V dimmer wire setup is for the IC in the driver. most Drivers are constant voltage variable current and will supply anywhere from the lowest wattage driver I have seen is an 8W driver to the largest of a 325W driver in a street light. all operating ouput voltages falling in the 22-50V range. so, to answer your question, no, a single car battery will not run this light the way you want. Depending on the circuit design, you can use 2,3,4 12V batteries to run the light if you wire directly to the led bar and remove the driver. Bear in mind that you will need a current limiting device in line if you do decide to do this, as without one, you will have a non limited circuit which will get VERY hot and give you a very bright light for a very short time. then POOf no more light.

[@jlucasound]

That is a strain relief, not a quick connect.

[@socalRicker]

FIRST.. don't put the meter on the position he had it on that was for DC volts use the one with the waving line. always have wire strippers. they should have had some one with more knowledge..

[@guitarshredder1972]

If you were to do that power test to make sure power was off, the way you did it would possibly kill you.

[@jenko701]

You have to pull a control wire from every fixture, bummer .

[@dakotagarcia3772]

Wow. Would not want this guy working on my property... Cant even install the panel cover correctly

[@LuisGutierrez-fg7sp]

;-) but in all seriousness yes do not do that in real life...

[@APAudVid]

You really have no idea as to whether or not you had voltage on the line... You meter was set to DC. There will be no DC present on proper / clean AC line....

[@peppersantiago7995]

Great tutorial, but the low-grade piano in the background is horribly annoying. I almost couldn't watch. You're amazing, though.
