Hello everyone and thanks in advance!

So, I installed this LED fixture in my bathroom to replace an old fluorescent fixture that had a bad ballast:


It is a dimmable (0-10V) fixture and it is working just fine with the original single pole switch that was in the wall. Obviously, not able to dim. I want to take advance of the fixture’s dimming capability, but am confused as to what type of switch to use. There is no low voltage wiring in the wall; only the original regular wiring that went to the old and replaced fluorescent fixture. I bought this dimmer switch, but it appears to need low voltage wiring for it to work as a dimmer:


Is there a dimmer switch that I can use for the new LED fixture using the existing wiring in the box (two black, one ground)?

Any advice/tips would be very appreciated. Thanks for your help!

LG
 
I don't believe there is any way of dimming the lamp you've got without running a pair of additional (0-10v) wires from the fixture to the 0-10v type switch.
