0-10 dimmer suggestions

[yeldogt]

I'm getting closer to needing to order some for my new house.

For those in the lighting world ...anything new?

My house has a mix of fixtures and light types. All of the 1-10 controlled LEDs are made by BEGA and most are in the bathrooms. So, I need an easy to use dimmer.

I typically use Lutron and they have come down in price (nice) .... but, they don't seem to make the 0-10 in my favorite dimmer (Maestro). The only one they sell has an occupancy sensor that I don't need.

The Diva line has a big rocker and a small slide for the dimming ....

Can't a line voltage dimmer be used on 10v?

No. 0-10v is the control. The fixtures have 120 going to them and two low volt wires for the control. They make romex now to do this.

The dimmer sends the LED driver a signal on what output to the LED.

I just installed 3 of these in my new shop. I tried to pick the best price for brand name ones. I had to have ones that would drive 1200w since I put 3 LED high bay lights on each switch.

I have 7 of those Eaton rocker/slide dimmers and they have been good so far — 2 or 3 years.

Eaton SF10P or DF10P work great. They have both the switch part and the dimmer part in one device. Makes it easy to run everything to one box.
Good luck,

I used the Eaton dimmer recommended here - nice rocker switch and slider dimmer in one unit. And available in colors (my garage electrical is in gray). I had to research a lot on what 18/2 wire to use. My first pass I used unshielded and ran it parallel to the 120VAC lines. Lights dimmed even without dimmer connected - AC lines must have “induced enough voltage” onto the dimmer wire. Re-ran it with shielded 18/2 and separated the run away from the 120VC. Works great now !

The Eaton is a better price point .... $35 vs $75. I'm going to order a couple and see how they match up to the Lutron. I have many multi ganged situation and sometimes the color is off. My OCD will go nuts.

I only buy Lutron dimmers.

There are others that maybe as good, but I got started with Lutron and have seen no need to try another brand.

I agree that Lutron makes great products, but they only make 3 wallbox dimmers that are 0-10V. One of those has a built-in sensor, and one is an ancient configuration that's now unpopular. That leaves only one, the DVSTV, that's a normal looking dimmer/switch. It works great.
Lutron also makes the best wireless system for controlling 0-10V lighting. What initially seems expensive really isn't when you consider the features and the ease of installation that it offers.
Here's their brochure on 0-10 products. https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/3672532_0_10V_Solutions%20Brochure.pdf

So on this thread.... I am looking for 0-10v dimmer options that are the old fashion toggle kind. Anybody have any less expensive alternatives? I mean $63 ?!?!?!?

Neither Lutron nor Eaton makes a toggle dimmer. I didn't see one from Leviton either.

I used a few of these. They worked well.

I've got a couple of these 0-10V dimmers in my garage now. These parts also support Bluetooth and so I can control them with my phone and/or home automation server. They're essentially computer controlled, but look just like standard dimmers.

Is that a slide to dim on the side?

It's more of a momentary switch with increase/decrease buttons.
