lightJuice CV4 User Guide

Connecting a load

lightJuice CV4 is a constant voltage dimmer, 

which  means  that  the  output  voltage  is 

defined by the power supply. The LED fixtures 

connected to the outputs must be designed 

for constant voltage operation, which means 

they  will  contain  their  own  current-limiting 

mechanism. 

lightJuice CV4 is designed to drive 24V rated 

RGBW constant voltage LED strip, in common 

anode configuration. Normally, Red, Green, 

Blue and White will be connected to outputs 

1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively (see Connections 

diagram).

The common anode can be connected to any 

of the outputs marked ‘+’.

The device is rated to provide up to 3A of 

current, which equates to a total output power 

of 72W.
