Dimming and Controlling Multicolor LEDs
The illustration on the previous page shows an RGB color mixing LED device.
There are 4 wires: a black wire for the 12V common positive (
+
), and three
colored wires, red/green/blue, for the three unique negative leads. The color
of the common positive may vary, it is not always black.
The common positive should be connected to one of the two
red
output
terminals. All of the (
+
)
terminals are connected together inside the
LumenDim6. The two (
+
)
terminals make it easy to connect two RGB light
sources, each with their own common positive wire.
Dimming happens on the negative (–) connections.
The red wire should be connected to the
grey
(–) connection for DimA.
The green wire should be connected to the
grey
(–) terminal for DimB.
The blue wire should be connected to the
grey
(–) terminal for DimC.
If using an RGBA, RGBW, RGBA, RGBTD (T is tungsten or warm white, D is
daylight or cool white), or other multi-channel fixture or LED device, the
additional wires (often amber, yellow, warm white, or cool white) should be
connected to the
grey
(–) terminals for DimD, E, and F as needed.
If using two RGB fixtures or LED devices, connect the first one to DimA, B, and
C, and connect the second to DimD, E, and F.
