- Use the 0-10V dimming feature of modern LED fixtures with existing wiring, and turn existing switches into fully functional dimming controls, with a 0-10V Blink'n'Dim adapter.

That "BOING" sound effect is murder on the ears if you're wearing headphones.
Hey Joe, just wondering how you're doing! Stumbled across your joe site & its contents, very interesting! I hope you're well.
I get it !!
Thank you !!!
May you become a billionaire over night !!!
Great job! How would one incorporate a slider type dimmer switch? Or, how many dim settings are there available with a single pole switch?
There are 255 dim settings available with a single pole switch using Blink'n'Dim protocol. If you really want a slider, or arbitrary user interface, it is possible for a manufacturer to add a different communication protocol to the present design. I would be delighted if you can talk a manufacturer into it. Up/down pushbuttons would be especially easy., with only 2 normally closed pushbuttons and 2 diodes in the wall control.
Thank you
Did you invent this? This is very innovative. I wish you best wishes in commercializing. I suspect that the price point (I saw it on amazon at $64) is a bit high - a part of the market may choose to do run the extra 0-10V wires. If you get this down to ~$20 that might be sustainable. The user interface is genius given the constraints you are working with, though it might take users some getting used to. Very innovative work!
Compared to a wireless 0-10V dimmer, a Blink'n'Dim Adapter offers better function at lower cost. Blink'n'Dim would be best integrated into light fixtures and bulbs.
@@joedoll3162 It is too expensive at $64 dollar agreed. To integrate into fixtures and bulbs you would need to speak to large luminaire manufacturers. If that's the price, it's almost more expensive than more advanced wireless Bluetooth Mesh adapters (Look up Casambi CBU-ASD). There are many questions though. Does it comply with EMC / does it have comformity documents? It really does need to be about 75% less expensive.
I agree, too expensive. I mean it’s a great idea but I have 10 lights I’m putting up, that’s $640 just for controllers.. I’ll gladly run wires to save the money. Like stated above $20 each is more reasonable.
@@austinatkins408 If all 10 lights are on a common switch, a single Blink'n'Dim Adapter can control all. For this to work, you must connect all dimming control terminals together. If you cannot physically run dimming control wires between all lights, multiple Blink'n'Dim Adapters can be synchronized to dim and brighten all simultaneously.
I still don't understand what type of switch or dimmer switch to use ... my switch (at top of basement stairs) is currently a toggle on and off and I plan to install two 2x4 panels in my basement replacing old fixtures .... if I buy two adapters underneath the new panels, what kind of switch is best?
Your existing toggle switch should be fine, or any other on/off switch you like. You should *not* connect a dimmer switch. The Blink'n'Dim Adapter *is* a dimmer.
can you use this on a 1-10v dimmable led light? what would happen to light fixture when the dimmer goes down to 2% dim. cause my understanding 1-10v light means 10%-100% brightness?
It works fine with 1-10V fixtures. The "Low Trim" feature can set range anywhere between 0-10V and 4-10V, with 1-10V as default. Actual brightness at any particular voltage depends on the fixture. Not all fixtures are the same. If you apply 2% (0.2V) to a 1-10V fixture, it may not be any dimmer than it would be a 1V, or it may turn off completely.
You can use just 1 of these blink and dim for each switched location correct? Ie: 8 lights on 1 switch, 1 blink and dim,. 1 light on 1 switch, 1 blink and dim.
5 led down a hallway with a switch at each end, 1 blink and dim adapter, correct?
Correct, provided you can connect 0-10V control wires of all lights together. Otherwise, multiple Blink'n'Dim adapters can be synchronized.
I have undercabinet halogen LV lights that is wired to a wall switch. Can this be inserted into the wiring to dim this accent light? Before or after the low volt adapter. I can’t access the wires in the ceiling to replace the fixture.
If your LV adapter has Dim+/Dim- connections for 0-10 volt dimming control, a 0-10V Blink'n'Dim Adapter can supply the control signal.
So do I need a power adapter like you show in the beginning of the video or can I just use the romex wire that is already powering the fixture(s)? Can it work in a three way switch setup?
Yes, you need a small 12 volt power supply for the Blink'n'Dim Adapter. It should be connected to the same switched power that operates the fixture. A three way switch setup is fine. Each switch can control dimming.
question i have lutron home work system but i want my lights to dim up to 0 would this work?
The 0-10V Blink'n'Dim Adapter works only with lights that dim with a 0-10V (or 1-10V) signal. Minimum control voltage is 0.04 volts. A light may or may not dim to 0 (off) at 0.04 volts according to its particular design. If you use a switch that your Lutron system can turn briefly off, then on, you can use it to control dimming.

Hi. Did work whit a dimmer switch? Thanks
This is a dimmer that is controlled by an ordinary switch. It should not be used with another dimmer.
I want to buy one but can’t locate it.
Available on Amazon.com. Search for "Blink'n'Dim Adapter". There are two listings, with or without a power supply.
I have Zoom disease, this went way over my head. I'll get an adult supervisor.
