User Manual
Caution: Please read this manual carefully before operating
Damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty
WARNING: This controller is intended for professional installation of single colour LED tape
and should be connected by qualified personnel in accordance with electrical safety standards.
Ensure that the rated load indicated is not exceeded.
Application
The ILDC2 dimmer control allows on/off and static dimming of single colour LED tape
operating from a 5-24Vdc power supply. The maximum current load is rated at 8A.
For Lyyt 12V single colour LED tape (156.705-156.718UK), it is recommended to connect no
more than 4 x 5m reels from the same controller. For Lyyt 24V LED tapes, up to 8 reels may
be powered through the dimmer.

153.789UK User Manual
When connecting several 5m tapes to make a longer run, it is advised to use bypass wiring
instead of connecting end-to-end to avoid noticeable voltage drop at the furthest end from the
power supply. The DC connector may be cut off and the insulation stripped for bare-wire
connection using terminal strip. Beyond the maximum length of tape (8A current), it will be
necessary to use single colour LED amplifier/repeaters (153.770UK, 153.771UK) to extend
dimming control to additional lengths
Operation
The ILDC2 dimmer connects in-line between the power supply and single colour LED tape with
a white control lead which is to be connected to a momentary push switch. Pressing this
switch will switch the LED tape on or off. Pressing and holding the switch makes the tape
progressively dimmer until at 0%, the tape then becomes progressively brighter up to 100%.
Releasing the switch at any point sets the brightness, which is remembered each time the
tape is switched back on. To change the brightness, press and hold the switch and select a
different level and then release again. The graph below is a representation of the dimming
function plotted against time to show how 60% brightness might be set and reset to 100%.
Using the above method, the ILDC2 enables full switching and dimming control from a single
press switch, which can be any wall mount or in-line momentary switch.
