In the premises I now work, there has been an LED Luminaire that has never worked (apparently) since the place was opened two years ago.
The light is as below, which is described as dimmable. After taking the fitting down (no mean feat), I found the below dimmer which appeared damaged. So I ordered a exact replacement. The luminaire flex was originally connected up to output 2 (output 1 was physically damaged). The driver casing instructions, say output 1 must be used before output 2, which is how I've connected it. However when operated (via dimmer switch) of other dissimilar lights, it doesn't like it & flashes.
I do not know if the dimmer switch is compatible (don't know make etc), there is another similar luminaire, which works (and dims) with other (LED) lighting and similar dimmer.
I'll have to take it down again and try it on the bench. When I've found the below driver wiring instructions, it shows some 'DIM' (pulse) terminals, but only 0-10V, which I'm thinking must be the connections to use, but I have no idea what voltage the LED lamp uses. Don't want to make an expensive mistake.
Accessing the working one, will require scaffolding so can't inspect that easily. So can anyone advise me?
