Budget UCL dimming alternative???

11 years ago

I just had an idea while thinking about my strip lighting. Has anyone tried using parallel strips of low density LEDs on a dual switch that allowed you to turn on one or both strips? Obviously, you wouldn't have the fine tuning of the dimmer. But you'd get hi and low lighting options without the expense of the (huge) dimming power supplies and special dimming switches. I was thinking two similar strips so you'd only get a 50% reduction, but I noticed that Inspired LED has 30 LED/M strips and 96 LED/M strips. I wonder what it would look like if you combined those two? With just the 30s on you'd get a 25% reduction over both on.
