The Lady Dimmer is a compact 4-channel DMX dimmer for analog LED strips. It runs on 12\u201324 V and handles up to 8 A in total. Above all, it fits where a dimmer rack never will \u2014 inside a prop, a costume or a small decoration.<\/p>\n

Which LED strips does the Lady Dimmer drive?<\/h2>\n

Any dimmable analog strip within the 12\u201324 V range. Use a single-colour strip, a common RGB strip, or an RGBW strip that occupies all four channels. You can also mix types on one unit.<\/p>\n

How many metres can one Lady Dimmer handle?<\/h3>\n

The limit is 3 A per channel and 8 A across the device. A 12 V strip rated at 14.4 W per metre therefore gives you roughly 6.5 metres. Heavier strips give you less, so check the power rating first.<\/p>\n

How do you set the DMX address on the Lady Dimmer?<\/h2>\n

A 12-bit DIP switch sits directly on the board. Nine of the switches set the DMX address between 1 and 255, while the rest carry other functions. Therefore no display, no menu and no configuration software are involved. You flip the switches once and the dimmer keeps the setting.<\/p>\n

Lady Dimmer PWM frequency on DIP 11<\/h3>\n

Dimming runs on 8-bit PWM with 256 levels, at either 490 Hz or 3.9 kHz. We work a lot for television, so we designed the high setting for camera work. At 3.9 kHz the light appears flicker-free on most studio cameras.<\/p>\n

Rotary BCD encoders on request<\/h3>\n

We also build a variant with rotary BCD encoders instead of the DIP switch. You then dial the address in decimal rather than counting bits. Ask us for this version when you re-address units in the field.<\/p>\n

Pass-through DMX on RJ-45<\/h2>\n

A pair of RJ-45 connectors carries DMX in and out, so inexpensive Cat5e cable replaces XLR runs. Daisy-chain several dimmers from one source and address each one separately. The DMX standard allows 32 devices per line<\/a>. For a console with XLR output, follow the pinout in the user manual<\/a> and make an adapter cable.<\/p>\n

5 V output for a wireless DMX module<\/h3>\n

The board also provides 5 V and solder pads for a wireless DMX receiver. As a result, a moving object needs no data cable at all. Use it in venues with low electromagnetic noise, because wireless DMX becomes unreliable in dense crowds.<\/p>\n
