Hand adjust. Full range. Off to full on. Works well if your rope lights are too bright.

You can adjust the lighting modes on the remote itself. I bought this specifically for the sound sensitivity. You can simply adjust the sensitivity knob for more or less reactive lighting. I love this unit. Simple, easy & very affordable. Plus you can connect 3 strips to it.

I suspect it's because there is only an "on/off" switch which cannot control the bulbs like a reostat on your wall switch. It's possible that your reostate can still control the dimming of the bulbs once you have your remote switch in the "on" position.

That's how I have mine set up; in line with a dimmer. It works well and has for the past six months or so. I'm not aware that you need a power supply that is specifically built for "dimming". As far as I know, any power supply will work as long as it outputs the correct voltage.

Mine does not remember the last dimmer setting. It normally goes on about half of full power.

I have only had the unit for a couple of months - no problem with dimming - only use it a few minutes a day, tho.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

Yes. The dimmer is tied into a switch and the remote can turn the lights on, off, make them brighter, or dim

That's a great question!! If there is a dimmer feature, I have yet to find it.

I do not have mine set on a dimmer and I did not install it so I am unable to answer the question

It works well for our master bedroom! Also note that the light dims! It's not listed in the manual or on this listing (from what I recall), but if you hold down the 'on' button on the remote, you can control it. It makes me wonder if some people perhaps do not know that and have the light more dim than it can be. Then again, some people like it really bright and I suppose it also depends on what room you plan to have it in!

sometimes it dims by itself and sometimes it remains bright. I have not yet found any manual means of controlling it.

There is a very similar looking model from Skylink that has dimming functions. Maybe yours is dimmed. The Dimmable model instructions might tell you how to do that.

In my experience, it turns onto the lowest setting. You can increase the light by touching the dimmer pad.

This is a dimmer. You must have dimmable fluorescent bulbs to use this controller.

They do dim. The controller that comes with the lights only dims in discrete levels. I don't know if you could use one of the analog dimmers to additionally control the brightness, but the remote is good enough for us. The warm white question is a good one--it's something I was hoping for as well. You can use the remote to set 'DIY' levels, and adjust the RGB levels independently. Taking out some blue and a little green I've gotten to a pretty good warm white. It's not quite as pleasing as the 2700 K Hitlight strips that I have, but you're not stuck with only pure white or the other colors shown on the remote.
