I'm using this as a replacement transformer in a vent-a-hood light unit. Everything works fine but they lights won't turn off. They will dim though.

The transformer has a minimum load needed to function properly, I would use a volt meter to be sure the switch breaks the hot, and double check the polarity.

I bought this transformer from a Amazon seller for one of my project but it is not working, So I don't know if it works for LED or halogen.

Michael M.I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them.Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

I put a set on a dimmer and have had no problems without a transformer. Had the lights for several months now.

Mine Innova does the same thing. Kind of annoying. I have another LED fixture from a different manufacturer and it comes on instantly. Got to believe that the higher quality transformers do not take as long. Maybe its just a matter of---you get what you pay for. Other than that, the light is fine...very bright & no hum.

Don't know.-- Added my own meter lights and replaced an internally shorted transformer with a bigger and better one out of the junk box. Also put higher capacity pass transistors on my second unit. Yeah the fan gets growly; other than that they both work.

Your landscape lighting still runs electricity, so no the lights will not work if there is no power to the transformer. As far as when the power comes back on( we lost power last month in an ice storm), I had no issues with the transformer coming back on and being on the automatic mode...which is the setting I leave it on.

definitely not. this has an internal circuit board that changes the voltage from 120VAC to 12Volt. This means the light won't dim it will simply turn off.

No you can't !If they are all connected to the same source they can't be turned on and off individually as they are on one transformer .....remember 12 volt lights ! You can use the dimmer to lower the light.

Hi it's work well but when i dim the light the is a noise 60 Hz very bussingI won't order no more of thia lights

My guess is no as these are fairly large circuit boards for a dome light. I should also mention that if you lights normally automatically fade to off, the lights will never shut off. They don't work in my Toyota Matrix because of this. If I put them in the only way to shut them off is to turn the dimmer on the dash the whole way off, but then they don't light when you open the doors.

on/off switches should always be 100% output, in my experience they work fine with LEDs. If you want the dimmer option, look for a LED compatible dimmer, although just know that LEDs dont to dim as well as a incandescent light. Mine will turn off out at about 30-50% output.

mine work as dome light and map light independently . try flipping end to end and adjusting your dimmer switch.

It could possibly be your dimmer. Not all dimmers are compatible with LEDs. Quite often you will need an electronic dimmer that is capable of dimming LEDs.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

No it is NOT dimmable and contrary to another answer it CANNOT be dimmed with a separate transformer. You can't guess at these things. If you don't know, don't answer the question. I did try a separate dimmer but the light dimmed about 5%, flickered, and then went out. It is meant to be used as is. If you would like to know why some fluorescent lights can or cannot be dimmed, look it up on the internet. You can find some nice technical explanations.

Lights are not dimmable. You can turn them on and off at night but they will only come on at night.
