Additional Information:
Item id/Part Number Reference:
The FriLight 12 volt dimmer bd1209 can dim low wattage 12 volt DC incandescent, Halogen, Xenon and LED lights, including the FriLight and Bee Green Lights and LED Bulbs.
Dimming Range is approximately 30% on to Full on.
Rotary knob clicks on / off.
Rotate clockwise to click on and then ramp up from 30% minimum to full on.
Rotate counter clockwise to ramp dimming down to about 30%, and then unit will click off.
NOTE: This dimmer is only for use with resistive loads, and so is
NOT
for use as a motor control.
This 4 wire 12 volt dimmer is great for New Installations & Retrofits. It can replace an existing switch provided you have access to both power + and -.
Install inline between the power source and the lights.
The dimmer must be connected to - ground.
The Load must have a "Floating Ground", as shown in wiring diagram below.

NOTE: ISSUE REGARDING BI-COLOR LED BULBS
The dimmer will dim both colors in our bi-color bulbs. However, the dimmer likely will interfere with the color changing. To change color, you need to toggle a switch off and back on. The dimmer, however, ramps the power more slowly, and you may get stuck with only white light.
The only remedy we know of is to put a switch inline with the dimmer. Use the dimmer for dimming. Use the switch for color changing. The bulb should initially illuminate in the secondary color (i.e. red or blue). When the switch is toggled, it should turn to white. To return to the secondary color, you need to turn the switch off for typically 4 to 7 seconds, then turn back on.
If you have an existing wall switch, perhaps you can keep it and add the dimmer. Otherwise, we do offer a switch here:

.
New Installations
:
Make a cutout for the housing directly into your wall panel.
Seat the housing into the wall cutout and mark the wall for 4 pilot holes to match the housing corner screw hole pattern. Remove the housing. Drill the pilot holes in the wall.
Wire the dimmer to your wiring in the wall.
Seat the dimmer housing into the wall cutout, pushing the excess wire into the wall.
Install 4 mounting screws to hold the housing to the wall, and snap the bezel into place (this hides the mounting screws).
To Retrofit into an existing switch housing:
Mount the Dimmer bd1209 onto a blank wall plate that fits onto your existing switch housing.
Note: Standard Blank Wall plates that fit standard residential style electrical switch boxes are available in various colors from hardware stores and electrical suppliers.
